Chetwynd Growth Delays Swimming Program Funding
School Board No. 99 was asked to fund a May swimming program for Chetwynd students but Dawson Creek and Grade Five pupils are prioritized elsewhere. A Parks Association meeting proposed a committee to study a broader program, including bus transport to Hudson's Hope at $500 for a ten day summer period, seen as costly for lower income families. Local parents and SD No. 59 trustee Ernie Pfanner plan to organize and supervise the effort.
