Grandma sends her love on the bus

Dec 24, 2014 | 6:33 AM

It’s the busiest week of the year at the bus depot in Regina. People are catching rides to see their loved ones and others are shipping last-minute parcels.

“I found something really cute for them,” said Joan Whelan, as she carried a big, white box into the parcel entrance.

Whelan packed away two dresses for her two great-granddaughters, seven and nine years old, albeit a little last minute.

“I do this every year. It’s a habit I have,” laughed Whelan.

The waiting area for travelers was also packed on Tuesday.

Al Parachoniak and his wife were heading to Saskatoon to see their family. There will be five in all at Christmas supper but first: they have to get there.

“They’re going to pick us up and then, of course, the Christmas season starts,” said Parachoniak.

Megan Kretzer is about halfway through her sojourn. She is a kinesiology student in Calgary. She’s stopping in Saskatoon before heading on to Paradise Hill.

“My entire family gets together. My grandparents and all of her siblings and then all of their family gets together. It’s huge,” said Kretzer.

Last December STC saw 26,000 passengers.
