Calgary Transit announced it will operate shuttle services to Spruce Meadows during advance voting days for the referendum. The decision follows reports of concerns about accessibility to the voting station. The British House at Spruce Meadows is the sole advance voting location for the Calgary-Shaw electoral district. This district includes communities such as Shawnessy, Somerset, Silverado, Yorkville, Belmont, and Pine Creek.
The referendum, which is part of the provincial election process, requires voters to cast their ballots in advance due to the timing of the election. The shuttle service will run on specific dates to accommodate voters who may face difficulties reaching the Spruce Meadows location. The service is intended to ensure equitable access to the voting station for all eligible residents.
This initiative reflects efforts to improve voter participation and accessibility in the region. The Calgary-Shaw electoral district has a diverse population, and the shuttle service aims to support those who may require additional assistance to vote. The move comes as part of broader measures to ensure smooth operations during the election period.
