Crossing Guard Appreciation Week
June 5 – 9, 2023 is Crossing Guard Appreciation Week!
Help us celebrate your local crossing guard by thanking them for a job well done!
Crossing Guards Play an important role in our community, helping children safely cross busy streets. No matter how cold, hot, rainy or snowy, Crossing Guards are always there to keep everyone safe. Remember to say thank you on Crossing Guard Appreciation Week.
Let’s celebrate our Crossing Guards by following these simple steps - please as a motorist:
- Slow down when approaching a crossing zone
- Come to a complete stop once a Crossing Guard raises their stop sign
- Continue only after all children and the crossing guard are safely off the road!
- Observe all no stopping and no parking signs - park only in designated areas!
One of our dedicated Crossing Guards shared some of her favourite memories through out the years.
