Fire Chief Steve Debienne announced that the annual Boot Drive undertaken by the Fire Department for muscular dystrophy ended up raising a total of $6,100. This was the largest donation made by a fire department in Saskatchewan this year.
With Christmas almost here, Chief Debienne is urging safety on the road for the travelling public.
"With Christmas around the corner, we are urging everyone traveling this holiday season to be cautious on the roadways. With increased traffic and unknown weather conditions, the road conditions can change rapidly; drive slowly and with care," said Chief Debienne.
