In response to the death of Kendara Ballantyne a new safe ride program was created for The Pas and area. 

The program was spearheaded by Paulene McGillivray and encouraged the Ballantyne family to get involved with the program and asked them to come up with a name for service and the name chosen was Nisiiminan Safe Rides, Nisiiminan translates to “My Little Sister. 

The new service provides safe transportation for indigenous and non indigenous woman on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30 PM until 4AM to keep them out of potentially dangerous situations at night and on their first official week they had 13 rides and they stayed out until 5AM to ensure that one of their last rides made it home safely.

To access the service call 431-355-0438
