Trenton Park & event rides
Trenton Park (119 Park Road) is the largest municipal park in Nova Scotia — 500 acres, festivals, concerts, community events, camping. When the parking lot fills for an event, Giv'er lets you post from your blanket before the last set and a licensed driver has your ride ready by the exit. Same story for the Trenton Minor Sports Community Centre (75 Park Road).

Built on top of Trenton's drivers
Giv'er isn't a fleet — there are no "Giv'er cars." Every Giv'er driver in Trenton is a licensed Class 4 cab driver, vetted and insured, looking to fill the gaps between dispatch calls. Cab drivers make more on Giv'er than going through a dispatcher because Giv'er charges zero commission — what the rider pays goes straight to the driver.
For riders, that means more drivers available. For drivers, it means more jobs without paying a cut. Everyone wins.
