A big congratulations to the HWY 44 North Bus and Swim that received a $500.00 Rural Roots Award at the April 19, 2023 Wild Rose Annual General Meeting!
Highway 44 North Bus and Swim is a program that began in Flatbush
over 40 years ago. It is parent organized, which allows children from
the rural communities of Flatbush, Fawcett, Jarvie and Dapp to be
bussed to Westlock for swimming lessons in the summer. Without this
program, many children would be unable to attend swimming lessons
at all and would miss out on this integral skill.
