This Crisis Was Avoidable. This school bus crisis didn't have to happen. For months, Grey Bruce school bus operators were negotiating in good faith with their local transportation consortium. Real progress was being made. Then, in the spring, the Province stepped in, withdrew support for those discussions and tried to impose a 0% funding increase. Months of progress were undone. Families are now facing uncertainty because negotiations were reset just weeks before school starts. #GreyBruce #SchoolBus #OntarioEducation

Winter weather doesn’t change the rules. ❄️ If a school bus has red lights flashing and the stop arm out, traffic must stop in both directions. 🚌🛑 Safety doesn’t take snow days. #RespectTheRed #OntarioWinter #SchoolBusOntario

🎒🚌 Back to School, Back to Safety A new year brings new routines and a fresh reminder about school bus safety. 💛 As students return to school, School Bus Ontario encourages families to review these important safety tips: ✔ Arrive at the bus stop early ✔ Stand back from the road ✔ Look both ways before crossing ✔ Always wait for the driver’s signal Together, we can make every ride a safe one. Happy New Year and welcome back to school! 🎉📚 #SchoolBusOntario #BackToSchool #SafetyFirst

Snow doesn’t cancel safety. ❄️ If the bus lights are flashing and the stop arm is out, you MUST stop. 🚨 No matter how cold, snowy, or busy the morning is. 🛑🚌 A few extra seconds can save a child’s life. #RespectTheRed #SnowyWeather #DriveSafe

Puffy coats and scarves can limit visibility and hearing. Parents: help your child adjust winter gear so they can clearly see and hear the school bus driver’s instructions. 👀🧣 Prepared kids = safer stops. #SchoolBusSafety #WinterWeather #StudentSafety

Winter mornings arrive with darkness, fog, and blowing snow - making visibility a real challenge. 🌫️🚌 Parents: ✨ Add reflective strips to backpacks and jackets ✨ Use bright colours whenever possible ✨ Encourage kids to stay off snowbanks near the road Drivers: 🔦 Turn headlights on early ⚠️ Watch for children in dim light 🚦 Stop fully for red lights, even when visibility is low Let’s brighten winter safety together. #SchoolBusOntario #WinterVisibility #StudentSafety #SafetyAlways
