PRINCE ALBERT Sarah Turnbull says wood chips, engineered wood chips, pebbles and sand are difficult to navigate with wheelchairs and walkers. She’d like the City of Prince Albert to consider surfacing material other than wood chips when accepting the proposed designs for the new playground at Little Red River Park provided by the Rotary Club of Prince Albert. “It sends a really powerful message to leave people on the sidelines,” said Turnbull. Turnbull often travelled from Tisdale to use the Jumpstart Playground in Prince Albert because the rubberized surfacing made it easy to access with her daughter’s wheelchair.

The Rotary Club of Prince Albert has been finding ways to thrive in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Rotary president Keith Fonstad the club has found ways to connect virtually and still follow the Rotary motto of Service above Self.
Fonstad explained that they have been able to maintain membership despite the pandemic while still meeting.
“We are one of the few service clubs in the city that has an average age that is quite younger and we have been able to maintain our membership with new members over the last five or six years to keep our club vibrant and moving forward. We have a really good group of Rotarians here that are a great mix of young professionals, recently retired professionals and longtime members who are just there to provide advice,” Fonstad said.
