In Orangeville, 27 crossing guards are out every morning and afternoon, rain, snow or shine, so our kids don’t have to face traffic alone. They deserve our full attention and respect in return.
The recent death of an Ottawa crossing guard, who was struck and killed while on duty on March 23, is a heartbreaking reminder of the risks our crossing guards face every single day.
Ontario law is clear: all drivers and cyclists must stop when a crossing guard raises their sign and remain stopped until every child AND the crossing guard have fully cleared the road.
