Volunteers create roadside oasis on the prairies for truckers

Truck drivers travelling across the country in the pandemic may be allowed to cross the border, but good luck trying to find a decent meal or even an open bathroom. That's what Lethbridge resident Lena Derksen heard when she would ask her truck driver brother how it was going. “My brother is a trucker, he drives and I got friends that drive, and just by what they have told me, there is no place for them to go to the bathroom or get a good meal,” said Derksen, who decided that was no way to treat the people keeping the shelves stocked across the country during a harrowing time for the planet.
