Rivers Health Action Committee (HAC) has been working for two years towards the construction of a multi-purpose room addition at Rivers’ health centre. The rehab unit has proven to be very successful but is in desperate need of increased space. This addition would provide a new area for rehab patients for group dining, exercises and activities.

Beautiful Plains School Division
The safety record of school buses in North America and the fact that statistically school buses are the safest means of transportation on all roads and highways is no coincidence. There are several reasons for this; one being the high manufacturing standards of school buses and ongoing improvements to them. However, much of the credit for this safety record must go to the people who maintain and drive these buses as well as the people that train, test and evaluate them. Due to the fact that 40 per cent of BPSD’s enrolled students are transported by bus, safety is a very high priority in the division.
