With Big White not running their regular ski shuttle, many in the community are left without a ride up to the hill. Seeing the need, a few Immac parents have arranged regular bus shuttle service to provide regular transportation to and from Big White. This bus is not affiliated with Immaculata, is not a school-sanctioned service, and will not be covered by Diocesan insurance. But, we are happy to connect students to the organizer, Stu Reid.

Here is how it will work:

A pass for 33 dates will be available for sale next week. The pass will be non-refundable but will be transferable between students. The bus will pick up and drop off students at Orchard Park Mall. The approximate time will be pick-up at 8:00 am, return at 5:00 pm.

The bus will be running from December 12– March 31, including a mix of Saturdays, Sundays, PD days, and days during the school breaks.

The bus trip is a flat cost, so the price per student is lower with more students riding the bus. Here are the rates:

20 - 24 students: $1260 ($38.18 per trip)

25 – 30 students: $1005 ($30.45 per trip)

30 – 35 students: $840 ($25.45 per trip)

36 students: $700 (Maximum number of passes) ($21.21 per trip)

Full payment must be received in advance of December 8th. At this time, this bus is exclusively for Immaculata students. If there’s room and there are students from other schools who are interested, they may be considered to fill empty spots.

A code of conduct will need to be signed by all students and parents will need to sign a waiver.

Stu Reid will be in the school on Monday at lunchtime for students to sign up and ask questions. Alternatively, you can reach Stu at stuges2000@gmail.com.
