Coaldale residents who use wheelchairs or walkers now rely on the new handi bus to get around town and also to get to medical appointments and shopping in Lethbridge. Tim Janzen, President with Coaldale & District Handi-Ride Association says the handi bus features an access ramp and winch system for safe and controlled entry, especially in winter conditions.
Janzen says that around 222 thousand dollars was the contribution given by various institutions to buy the handi bus.
