School Division Plans Own Garage Operation
The Pine Creek School Division board debated operating its own garage for efficiency and cost savings. After visiting other divisions, the board resolved on June 22, 1970 to rent a garage in Austin, Manitoba for one year with an option to buy or rent later. They hired Frans Kopmels as fleet mechanic and awarded bids for school additions to Hoffmans Construction. The board approved accident insurance for students and listed contracted bus routes, while also addressing staff changes and vacancies amid ongoing weather delays and a planned completion after January 1, 1971.
