The Village of Sayward and the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) are inviting the community to the grand reopening of Fire Hall #2, and a traditional “push-in” ceremony to welcome a new rescue truck.
The new truck replaces the existing rescue vehicle, Rescue 33, which has reached the end of its service life.
According to a release from the SRD, the celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, food, fire and rescue displays, door prizes, and guided tours of Fire Hall #2 and the new rescue truck.
The SRD says the contract for the firehall renovations was awarded to Advanced Builders and Contractors at a meeting of the regional board in June 2024.
Renovations include, but are not limited to, a single-bay overhead door, improvements to the approach area, new roofing and upgraded washrooms.

The project’s price tag was $370,000; it was fully funded by the Electoral Area A Canada Community-Building Fund – Community Works Program.
Ceremonies and activities will take place at Fire Hall #2 at 1306 Sayward Rd., Saturday Oct. 11 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The event is free and open to everyone.
