BEHIND THE SCENES - SPOTLIGHT 2022
Blue Bus Retires
After 5 years of "Here comes the Blue Bus", we are decommissioning our stalwart steed.
It has been sold as storage to a community member.
This ends our "start up" era. As we move forward with more secure funding from the Regional District, the opportunity to purchase a newer, more fuel efficient and lower repair bills, vehicle has presented itself. We wave a fond farewell, as we de-decal-ate the exterior.
