GR - Mowachaht/Muchalaht Regional Transportation Initiative - Gold River Tourism & Business Owners

The Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation recently acquired a shuttle bus and a passenger van primarily to serve guests of the Baymont Hotel in Gold River. The service is designed to provide convenient transportation between the Comox Airport, Campbell River, Gold River, and Tahsis.

The Nation is exploring an expansion of the service to include a fare-based transportation option to and from Gold River. To assess feasibility, we are seeking input from Gold River and area business owners and tourism operators. Your feedback will help shape this potential transportation service.
