Commuting to School

Please do your part to keep all our children safe.

The speed limit in school zones is 30 km/hr. By slowing down, obeying signage, and using extra caution when driving in school zones, you can help keep our school zones safe during the school year (September to June).

Fewer cars around schools reduces congestion, traffic conflicts, and improves student safety. Choosing active transportation like walking or cycling to school is good for students' health and reduces pollution.

A joint School Mobility Advisory Round Table (SMART) meets regularly and staff conduct an annual School Safety Assessment to review traffic safety around schools and make improvements to engineering, education, and enforcement.
