The 19th Annual Highway to Mexico has been postphoned until September. For the past 19 years, Grande Prairie Rotarians geared up to take part in a week-long drive as part of the Highway to Mexico project.

The 5,500 kilometre trip to Mazatlan, Mexico will be postphoned until September when one aerial fire truck, one fire pumper truck, 4 ambulances, a school bus, and a HandiBus, make their way down with 20 Rotarians.  The Highway to Mexico is a joint project between the Swan City and Grande Prairie Rotary Clubs along with clubs in Edmonton, Edson, Fairview and Peace River. Co-ordinator Felix Seiler says they continue to do this every year because it feels good to see the equipment being used. "We rely on a lot of donations that we get, especially for gear, a lot of the equipment is still servicable for Mexico"

The clubs and others have made regular donations of firefighting gear to needy groups in Mazatlan, Mexico since 2002, when the project began.
