Our crossing guards work hard to keep our children safe, no matter what the weather.

A crossing guard holds up a stop sign for pedestrians to cross the street

They are an important part of every community and are passionate about safety and connecting with those around them by helping school children and other pedestrians safely cross the street.

There are 24 full-time stations for students to cross in our community, and a crossing guard is there every day to make sure your students arrive to school and home safely.

Reminders to Drivers:
  • As of January 1, 2016, all vehicles and cyclists are required by the Ontario Highway Traffic Act to stop and wait until children and Crossing Guards have cleared the entire roadway at school crossings before proceeding.
  • Support your local School Crossing Guards:
    • Stop when a School Crossing Guard raises his or her stop sign.
    • Take notice of whether a Guard is on duty and slow down when approaching school crossing locations.
    • Obey the law. Remain stopped until all children AND the Guard have completely exited the roadway.
    • Proceed with caution – obey posted speed limits, and observe all NO Stopping and NO Parking signs – park in designated areas only.

Become a crossing guard

Crossing guards make a big impact and a positive difference in our community, providing safe crossing during the start and end of the school day, when vehicle and pedestrian traffic is at its peak each day.

There are many great reasons to become a crossing guard. Working outdoors year-round provides a great way to stay active and be an involved part of our great community. 

This position provides a lot of flexibility. Outside of morning and afternoon hours for students coming and going, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. Both shifts are short, and crossing guards also have summers, PA Days, March Break, and holidays off.

If you would like to become a crossing guard, please send us an email or give us a call at 519-941-0440 ext. 5240.

Shifts and times will vary depending on the assigned school and station.
