Traffic Safety – Extra Enforcement Coming

The PAC has been advised that sometime in the next two weeks traffic enforcement by-law officers will be on site. If cycling, obey the stop sign at Cypress and York. If driving, all lights and stop signs need to be obeyed. If parking, a No Parking spot has a 5 minute grace period. A No Stopping spot is immediately ticketed if you stop. We all need to be paying attention if we want a safe and fine-free area around the school.

Please note the PAC nor the Principal have any influence on how tickets are given.
