The possibility of a Community Services Handi-Van began on June 8th, 2004 when Ruby Catherine Schmitz named the Town of Hanna as beneficiary in her will.  Her wish was that there would be a Handi-Bus that could transport people with disabilities.  In return for her kind gesture, the bus was to read "in Honor of Fred & Hattie Schmitz."  Additional support was received when the Clifford Wall Foundation wished to donate funds in the name of Clifford Wall for a new vehicle that could assist programs for the visually impaired.

A Council Task Force was assembled comprised of Councillor Taylor and Councillor Lallier.  After research, they proposed that a Handi-Van be purchased and operated in a similar fashion as a Community Services Van - but with the restriction that use be limited to those with disabilities.

Council approved the purchase of a Chevrolet Uplander and had it converted for wheelchair access, giving wider access to services for all Hanna residents.
