Community groups drill well for Rossburn family with Lions help
The Ross burn Lions Club led a community effort to install a water well for the Koleski family who previously hauled water to a cistern. Donations came from nearly 30 Lions Clubs and local businesses with minimal costs, and the project used permission from the Trans Canada Trail to drill on the old CN line. The well will serve the family and trail users alike, demonstrating community cooperation.
