Medical Transportation Grant

The Medical Transportation Grant is intended to reimburse eligible residents with some of the expenses that they’ve incurred to destination medical appointments. Those eligible can apply for a $150 grant for an appointment at least 150 kilometers away and within the calendar year. If an applicant has multiple out-of-city appointments, they can apply up to a maximum of $600 per calendar year.

To be eligible for the grant, applicants must live within the City of Cold Lake and whose finances meet the criteria set out by Canada Revenue Agency Modest Income, which is:  

• One person with an income under $35,000
• Two person household with an total income under $45,000
• Three person household with an income under $47,000
• (each additional dependent, add $2,500)

Applicates will need to provide confirmation that they live within the city, attended a medical appointment or received medical services at least 150 kms away during the present year and provide the previous year’s tax assessment or proof of eligibility for the Canadian Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), a program the FCSS runs yearly from March to January.

Grant forms are available at the FCSS offices located at 5220 54 St or online.
