While Calgary had Mission:Possible, High River is the sequel, with volunteers being transported from the big city to small town Alberta in an attempt to help residents with their flood recovery efforts.
Albertans are flocking to High River from across the province to help with the clean up. Already, more than 900 volunteers have registered to help clean up the community.
Shuttle busses leave Mount Royal University and Bishop O'Byrne High School to the Mission Possible 2 volunteer staging grounds in High River. These busses leave every two hours starting at 9 a.m. and the final bus departs at 4 p.m.
Bishop O'Byrne High School can be found at 500 333 Shawville Blvd SE and the shuttles leave the university from the Parkade as well as Lots A and B on the south side of campus at 4825 Mount Royal Gate SW.
The bus stops at the High River Agricultural Society Rodeo Grounds and the last bus leaves High River at 9 p.m. These volunteers are asked to bring their own supplies such as rubber boots, face masks, gloves, shovels, garbage bags and buckets.
Water and snacks are to be provided and volunteers under the age of 18 are asked to be accompanied by a parent or a guardian.
