Crossing guards work a maximum of three hours per day during the school year.

We're grateful for the dedication of school crossing guards in the Town of Oakville who keep students safe, rain or shine!

Help celebrate them this week! Thank your school crossing guards for their hard work with these printable:

Crossing guards wear a bright orange vest, bright orange wristbands, and they hold a stop sign in an upright position when taking kids across the street.
All motorists must stop before reaching a crosswalk when the stop sign is upright. Motorists must stop when the crossing guard and the children are preparing to cross or are in the roadway.
Motorists should not proceed through the crosswalk until the children and the crossing guard have cleared the roadway.
Be courteous and attentive if you encounter a crossing guard. Obey the crossing guard at all school crossings. Obey speed limits and community safety zones at all times.
