Bus Safety Week: Monday, February 17th - Sunday, February 23rd, 2025

Get ready for Bus Safety Week, part of the annual Be Bus Aware campaign, running from Monday, February 17th to Sunday, February 23rd. This week, we're shining a spotlight on the importance of safety for all road users—whether you're a bus passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or motorist.

Join us in raising awareness and teaching our children about safe behaviors around buses. Remember to:

• Wait for buses to come to a complete stop before boarding or exiting.
• Be cautious at bus stops and crosswalks—look both ways and stay alert.
• When waiting for the bus, hold hands and wait as far back from the passing traffic as possible.
• Meet your child AT the bus stop after school. NEVER wait on the opposite side of the road and call them across.
• Always wait until the bus has gone, then use a safe place to cross.
• Slow down to 40 km/h when bus lights are flashing.
• Follow all posted safety signs and instructions from bus drivers.

Together, we can keep our children and our roads safer and ensure that everyone arrives at their destination safely. Let’s all Be Bus Aware!
