NEW BUS FOR PARATRANSIT SERVICE IN KELVINGTON

Released on October 1, 2003

People in Kelvington now have greater independence thanks to a new bus for the paratransit service. The province contributed $55,000 from the Centenary Fund toward the cost of the $70,772 vehicle.

"This new bus will improve transportation services for Kelvington senior citizens and residents with disabilities," Government Relations Minister Ron Osika said. "Transportation is key to a person's ability to access services, work, socialize and live independently within the community and the province is pleased to help provide a safe and reliable vehicle."

"The Town of Kelvington is pleased to be part of this project to upgrade our transportation services," Mayor Ed Tetelowski said. "This new bus is vital to continuing to offer transportation options to our residents."

The Centenary Fund was set up to leave a legacy of Saskatchewan's Centennial for future generations. Leading up to the centennial celebrations in 2005, the government is funding projects that are of provincial or regional interest and develop municipal infrastructure. Under the Centenary Fund Saskatchewan communities will receive more than $2.3 million, over three years, toward the replacement of paratransit vehicles.
