The division recognizes that strong community ties are essential for sustaining these partnerships. Regular communication and collaborative planning have helped businesses see the tangible impact of their involvement, reinforcing their willingness to contribute to future initiatives. The Wild Rose School Division also prides itself on being at the forefront of integrating technology into classrooms. “We’ve developed a way to allow all kids to connect and communicate with each other. We have two outreach schools that offer flexible delivery methods. So, if you have a student who can’t get a certain course because their high school doesn’t offer the courses, they could get that through one of our outreach programs where we have teachers added a high-quality sports field. Similarly, the village of Breton saw the creation of the “Field of Dreams,” a project driven by local passion and perseverance. In the town of Drayton Valley and Brazeau County, local fundraising efforts have contributed new playground equipment for schools and the division is currently working with the local municipalities in the development of a new sports field. Further south in Rocky Mountain House, the division has worked with the town to enhance facilities like the local football field and a splash park constructed on school grounds. Clearwater County and residents have been very supportive and engaged with the division to enhance two new school building projects and provide the addition of new recreational fields. Local businesses also contribute significantly to these efforts, providing resources and expertise. Their support extends beyond financial contributions, 10 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 01
