SASKATCHEWAN — The month of May has been proclaimed CAA School Safety Patrol Month in Saskatchewan. The month will be devoted to recognizing and thanking the thousands of patrollers for their valuable volunteer work and dedication to promoting school zone safety in Saskatchewan school zones, CAA Saskatchewan states in a press release.
“We are proud to … recognize the important role safety patrollers play in supporting their fellow students getting to and from school safely,” Education Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Thank you to these young leaders for making a difference in your communities."
To help celebrate the accomplishments of the many volunteers of the CAA School Safety Patrol program, CAA Saskatchewan is providing a small honorarium to each Saskatchewan school registered in the CAA School Safety Patrol program. The honorarium can be used by the school’s safety patrol co-ordinator to facilitate a celebratory activity such as bowling, movie night and a pizza party, along with the support of CAA Rewards partner, Pizza Hut.
“School zones are busier than ever, and these volunteer students should be recognized for their time and dedication as safety ambassadors in our communities,” says Angel Blair, CAA School Safety Patrol co-ordinator.
“We’d like to remind motorists to be alert in school zones, obey the posted speed limit, and follow the safety direction of our patrollers on duty.”
CAA Saskatchewan has owned and managed the CAA School Safety Patrol program since 1951, providing training materials, patroller handbooks, stop paddles and reflective vests free of charge. There are more than 3,000 patrollers in close to 100 schools from 42 Saskatchewan communities.
