Local nursing students ask for improved transit system & address needle concerns
A group of students from the University of Saskatchewan Nursing Program in Prince Albert are looking to revive the discussion on some of the city’s most prominent issues.
As part of an assignment, the fourth year students were asked to raise issues concerning the city’s health to the city’s elected officials.
On Monday night’s executive committee meeting, the students presented on two issues: the city’s transit system and the city’s needle exchange program.
After conducting 44 informal surveys, the students found that 80 per cent of those surveyed had a desire for extended transit hours in the evening and weekends.
