Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department’s beautiful and brand new fire truck came from Fort Garry Fire Trucks in Saskatchewan, arriving here on Dec. 19. It has a 1000 imperial gallon water tank on board and three foam discharges. It requires a crew of five and will be deployed from Firehall #1 on Sheridan Lake West Road.

Sympathies

Residents were saddened to learn of the Dec. 12 passing of Roy Tomlinson at the age of 89. One of the originators and longtime president of Mountain Spruce Community Centre Society (MSCC), Roy was a strong voice for all things environmental and will be deeply missed.

Sincere sympathy is extended to his wife Olga and their family.
