• Community involvement

As a large group of members committed to community spirit, the CMDA enjoys the opportunity to get involved and make an impact on special causes.

• In 1988 the CMDA donated a Handi-Bus to the Calgary Handi-Bus Association. Until it was retired on August 31, 1998, our bus logged 611,119 kilometers in 10 years of continuous service, providing over 66,000 passenger trips. The CMDA is proud to provide a "Full Bus Sponsorship" for one of the newly designed mini-bus units that were placed in service in March 1995. This vehicle has logged 363,462 kilometers as of November 15, 2001, representing 29,420 passenger trips.
