Acadia University - Grocery Shuttle Program

The Grocery Shuttle is a free service for all international students (living on- and off-campus). Every two weeks on Tuesday evening, the shuttle transports students to and from grocery stores (Superstore, Walmart, Sobeys) in New Minas. Students can take advantage of the student discounts at Superstore (points via the PC Optimum card) and/or Sobeys (10% off with a student card).

Schedule

• The shuttle is offered on a bi-weekly basis on Tuesdays.
• Pick-up at Acadia: 6:00pm at the Wong International Centre (WIC)
• Drop-off: At Superstore. You have 2 hours to do all necessary shopping.
• Return pick-up: 8:00pm from Walmart. Students who are not at Walmart by the 8:00pm pick up time will have to find their own transportation back to campus. No exceptions! The shuttle bus drops students off at the WIC and up the hill.

Signing up

Sign up is required and will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. On the Monday before the Grocery Shuttle trip, we will notify you by email that the sign-up sheet is available.

• There are limited spots available.
• Once signed up, you will receive an email confirmation letting you know if you were successful in signing up.
• If you are unable to make the grocery run after signing up, please let us know as soon as possible so a fellow student can make use of the service!
• There is a waitlist in case a student is no longer able to make the bus. You will be contacted if you move to the main list.
