Safer School Community Meeting

The School Road Safety Committee, in collaboration with, Chilliwack Public Safety Specialist, Samantha Piper, ICBC, & the RCMP has set out to identify the key road safety concerns for our school. We are now in the planning stage to implement initiatives to encourage and enforce safer driving habits within our school zone.

With the aid of traffic counts, speed watch, and observations of behavioural patterns, it has been determined that speed is a major concern in our school zone. This, of course, comes as no surprise for those of us who live & play here.

 

We encourage everyone to join us on Monday, January 21, 2013 at 7pm
at Greendale Elementary for a meeting with the City Public Safety Dept. and an RCMP representative.

 

In order for change to occur, the City needs to see and hear there is strong community support behind this issue. If you have concerns you want to address or if you just want to hear what plans and ideas are in place to help us find a solution please come out and show your support.

We know that our greatest challenge will be to change driver behaviour but, we believe that with the participation and commitment from the City and most importantly, our community, we can achieve our long term goal of keeping all of our children safe.

As parents, we can help keep our school zone safe by teaching and reminding our children a few simple rules.

 

·       Always look left, right, and then left again before crossing the road.

·       It is important that children learn not to assume all drivers will stop. They should try to make eye contact with the driver.

·       The school parking lot can become dangerous when it gets congested. Teach your children to not run out in the parking areas.

 

We want everyone to be able to enjoy a safe school and playground environment and look forward to seeing all of you at the meeting.
