Thank you, Bancroft Community Transit
May 11, 2016
To the Editor,
My husband and I want to thank all the office staff and drivers at Bancroft Community Transit. Without this great service, a lot of people would suffer.
Recently my husband had a medical emergency. During this critical time, the BCT driver waited for Dennis and myself for over nine hours, when there were complications to my husband’s surgery.
I wish to thank Wally and his wife Shirley for being there for us; it was a long day. And Selena – thank you for all the help.
This service fills a need for people in the community. Excellent service!
Anne Stubbings and Dennis Rice
