A Community Services Committee of Sundre council had recently been held with Alberta Community Development Facilitator David Laing as a guest speaker. Formerly known as the recreation committee, several council members were in attendance to inform the Sundre Swimming Pool Fundraising Committee of council's decision to update the Pool Feasibility Study in preparation for their plans to hold a plebiscite. About 20 people attended the meeting, with the majority representing the pool committee or service clubs and organizations that were in support of a new pool in Sundre. Since local officials had decided to close the Centennial Pool in 1989, two recreation feasibility studies had been completed ó one was a general study on recreation while the other was an engineering and feasibility study on the pool project.

A Sundre school correspondent wrote about the Work Experience Program, which was designed to provide an opportunity for students to get practical experience in a job that they were interested in investigating. Students earned credits towards their high school diploma (up to 15 credits out of 100) by working at a job during school hours for anywhere from one to two and half hours. Students who showed dedication and commitment to their job tended to go part-time, with some even working through the summer full-time. The program also introduced students to the types of demands and expectations employers will have. Participation in the program was fully optional for students interested in learning more about potential career paths. Among the jobs students were getting involved with included welding, auto body mechanics, financial institutions, clerical work and even retail.
