Tofield Handivan Society
In 1990, a group of citizens formed an organization to raise funds for the purchase of a Handivan to use in the Tofield area. Their efforts, and generous community support, made it possible to purchase the “Tofield Handivan”.
In 1996, the Tofield Handivan was made available to groups within the community who may not require the lift, and the operational name was changed to “Tofield Bus”. Although currently, day-to-day operations of the bus are the responsibility of Town of Tofield, the Handivan Society remains active and oversees these operations.
The Society has been successful at obtaining grants for the continued operations of the Tofield Bus. In addition, generous donations from the community, memorial donations and fundraising efforts by other groups have supported the continued operations of the bus and van.
