West Nipissing Ouest – Sturgeon Falls, Verner, St Charles, Field and Area News Taxi Services in West Nipissing will be temporarily withdrawn, due to issues of compliance with the Taxi By-law 2016-63 and the Municipal Act. The taxi operator has surpassed the issued deadline to meet by-law compliance and, therefore, will not be authorized by the Municipality to service the community.
The Taxi By-law was created to protect residents – both to ensure that drivers are properly licensed and vetted, and that vehicles are safe and clean. This by-law provides consistency and care of services in alignment with other municipalities. Any other “ride for fee” transportation service is not permitted under the municipal by-law.
