Seniors, take note! The City of Cornwall's Senior-Friendly Community Committee is pleased to announce the return of the Seniors on Wheels program this summer!

The program features two Ami Trishaw bikes where passengers are seated in the front making it easy to step in and out of. Seating in the front also allows unobstructed views to enjoy the beautiful scenery along a network of paved pathways in Lamoureux Park.

The trishaw is electric and operated by trained Cornwall Tourism ambassadors or volunteers.

How it works

It's free to use the trishaw! 

• There is seating for two passengers
• Rides are 30 minutes long
• Passengers are cautioned to wear a helmet, but it is at their discretion. They do however need to wear a seatbelt.

Where to find us

The Seniors on Wheels program is based out of the Cornwall Tourism visitor information centre in front of the Cornwall Civic Complex. Look for the big blue container near the front steps - you can't miss us!

Passenger pick-ups and drop-offs will take place at the visitor information centre. There is ample free parking available in the laneway leading to the Cornwall Civic Complex as well as in the main parking lot.

Book a ride!

Please note: the 2024 Seniors on Wheels season has come to an end. Stay tuned for info on the 2025 season!

Operating hours in 2024 are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. 

Please note rides will not be offered on days with inclement weather (rain, extreme heat) or when the park is hosting major events.

Volunteers

Seniors on Wheels needs volunteers! You can make the difference in a senior's day by piloting the electric trishaw. We'll work with your schedule and provide training before you start.

Friendly folks of all generations are welcome to apply and help bring joy to seniors in Cornwall.

To volunteer, please call or text 613-938-4748 or send an email to seniorsonwheels@cornwall.ca and a member of the Seniors on Wheels team will get back to you.

Project Background

The trishaw is available thanks to a New Horizons Grant. The Senior-Friendly Community Committee spearheaded the Trishaw Project as part of their mandate to...

• reduce organizational, social, and physical barriers that prevent seniors from fully engaging in community activities
• to provide a healthy community by focusing on the World Health Organization's identified key areas such as transportation, housing, social participation - to name a few

The Rotary Club Sunrise has supported this project with a $3,000 donation.
