The Prairie Spirit School Division celebrated the grand opening of its new bus garage last week.

Secretary/Treasurer Jody Parsonage says the garage won't actually be occupied until later in the summer, however, when the people who work at the division's two existing bus facilities can make the move.

Parsonage notes the new facility will replace those garages in Holland and Manitou, adding working conditions will dramatically improve for the mechanics in the brand new building. She says everyone is impressed with the changes, including a new wash bay which will be especially helpful to the bus drivers in the winter time.
