Tree Canada offers a program with different sponsors for seedlings and since the community was founded because of the railway, it seemed like a logical connection. The local Millennium Park is a reclaimed CN gravel pit and works very well for this type of program.

A tanker and coal car are the latest wooden railway units to be placed on the grounds at Rivers Elementary School. The engine put there last year, and which provided an enjoyable play area for students, has been returned to the collegiate’s woodworking classroom for repairs and reinforcements. The project for next year is making the caboose; the engine will be back at the elementary school at the end of this month.
