Norway House Cree Nation and KSBDC partner with TBC to deliver a new 56-passenger MCI bus, supporting elders, children, and medical patients with reliable community transportation.

Norway House Cree Nation has reached a significant milestone with the arrival of a new 56-passenger MCI bus, the result of years of sustained collaboration between the community, the Keewatin Secretariat Business Development Corporation (KSBDC), and Thom Brokerage & Consulting.

A Long Road to Delivery

This procurement was not a quick transaction — it reflects years of commitment, planning, and partnership focused on strengthening community services. Working alongside the KSBDC team and community members, TBC supported the process from procurement planning through to final delivery.

The involvement of KSBDC as a community-rooted partner was central to moving this initiative forward, ensuring the process aligned with Norway House Cree Nation's priorities and values.

Who This Bus Serves

The new 56-passenger MCI bus directly supports some of the community's most important transportation priorities:

  • Safe and reliable travel for elders attending events and appointments
  • Transportation for children in the community
  • Access for medical patients requiring travel to health services
  • Broader connectivity for community programs and gatherings

These are not abstract benefits — they represent a meaningful investment in accessibility and care for Norway House Cree Nation members.

Partnership With MCI

This project was made possible in part through TBC's partnership with Motor Coach Industries (MCI), one of North America's leading motorcoach manufacturers. The collaboration ensured the community received a vehicle built to the standard their members deserve.

Norway House Cree Nation joins a growing number of First Nations communities that have invested in motorcoach transportation, including Nelson House Cree Nation and Opaskwayak Cree Nation, both of which have expanded community mobility through similar partnerships.
