Congratulations to the 19 Grade 6 students from the Wilberforce Elementary School after graduating from a year long DARE course; focused on resisting Drugs & Violence.

Groundbreaking Assistance Unit Created!

WAPVA has recently joined forces with the Monmouth Volunteer Fire Department and launched the first Red Cross Personal Disaster Assistance Program. This program is the first of its kind in any rural community in Canada.


The pioneering unit consists of 8 people who are on call 24 hours a day and rotate every two weeks. This service is made possible by the Monmouth Fire Department and its first response team as well as the Canadian Red Cross.
