Kudos for Rimbey’s seniors’ handi-van

I am biased, however, I do want to say the fact Rimbey and area has a handi-van that is successfully run on volunteer labour

Dear Editor:

I am biased, however, I do want to say the fact Rimbey and area has a handi-van that is successfully run on volunteer labour is just incredible. What a terrific service in your community.

I live in a small town and we do not have this service. My bias comes from the fact that my father, Neville Roper, has been involved for years. On June 28, Neville is the driver. He emailed he hopes it doesn’t get too hot because they only have the dashboard A/C. He will have a busy day of pick-ups and drop-offs including loading wheelchairs, securing passengers and ensuring the seniors are delivered safely and on time. Neville turned 91 in March.

Rimbey has a solid grounding in service to others and the handi-van is one great example.
