The British Columbia Automobile Association is expanding its Road Safety Foundation's school safety patrol program.
The association is offering the program free of charge to B.C. elementary schools.
The program is used by schools to help organize and properly train a team of student safety patrollers who volunteer their time to ensure their peers remain safe at road crossings within schools zones.
The association is encouraging elementary schools to register now for the program for the upcoming school year. Schools receive safety patrol equipment, structured training materials and student resources to launch and run the program.
Parents who would like to see a program at their child's school should contact the principal.
Schools are encouraged to register for the program now by visiting the website bcaaroadsafety.com, emailing [email protected] or calling the foundation at 604-298-5107 or toll free 1-877-247-5551.
