Roblin Review announces college closure in 2002
St Vladimir's College, operated by Ukrainian Catholic and Redemptorist groups since 1942, will suspend operations in 2002 after seven years of low enrollment. Most Rev Michael Bzdel cites failure to reach required 35 students to stay viable and says the decision was necessary. The issue is part of broader community disruption as Boissevain council considers reducing noon fire siren frequency due to complaints. A separate Roblin Review report notes a 21 year old man drowns after falling at Athabasca Falls while working in Jasper.
