About Moving Edson & Area

Moving Edson & Area is the only wheelchair-accessible, door-through-door transportation service in Edson, and we're excited to walk with The Grand Parade on September 19, 2026!

Read More

Moving Edson & Area (Edson Seniors Transportation Society) is a registered Canadian charity that has been providing wheelchair-accessible, door-through-door transportation in Edson since 1984. We're the only mobility-accessible transit service in the community, serving seniors and residents living with mobility or cognitive challenges, seven days a week.


This year, through The Grand Parade, we're walking to support the neighbours who depend on our buses every day. In 2025 we completed 11,100 rides — about 30 trips daily to medical appointments, pharmacies, the grocery store, and the places that keep people connected and independent. Rider fares cover only a fraction of what it costs to operate. Every dollar raised helps bridge that gap.


Walk with us, donate, or spread the word. Every step you take stays right here in Edson, for the people who call it home.
