Places we go from Westville
Wellness Centre & Sobeys Arena pickups
The Pictou County Wellness Centre on Westville Road is the biggest event and hockey venue in the county — 1,660 seats in the main rink, two NHL-size ice pads, plus a pool, gym, and elevated running track. On tournament weekends and after Sobeys Arena events, hundreds of parents and players spill into the lot at the same time. Giv'er lets you post your ride before the final buzzer so a driver's ready by the doors instead of hunting for one after everyone else has the same idea. Same story for Novaco practices, learn-to-skate, and public swim ends.
After-school & NRHS runs
Northumberland Regional High School at 104 Alma Road serves the whole county. When a parent's ride falls through or a student needs to get home to Stellarton or Trenton after practice, Giv'er gets a licensed driver there in minutes. Class 4 license required for every Giv'er driver — same provincial standard as any taxi.

Built on top of Westville's drivers
Giv'er isn't a fleet — there are no "Giv'er cars." Every Giv'er driver in Westville 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.
