This page is dedicated to the over 600 school safety patrollers inBrantford schools
The CAA
Safety Patrol Program is made up of elementary students who are on duty at
their posts, rain or shine, all through the school year.
These
dedicated students ensure that hundreds of elementary school children cross
our streets and ride their buses safely. Our primary concern is the safety of
all students travelling to and from schools in our community.
On June 21,
2013 the CAA South Central Ontario and the Brantford Police Service provided
the second annual appreciation and recognition movie day at the Cineplex
Odeon on King George Road. On this day patrollers and supervisors who
go above and beyond their duties were recognized.
All
participating schools were offered a CAA subsidy grant for their end of
school year safety patrol celebration/assembly. This year the CAA grant was
used to partner with our local McDonald’s, a longtime community sponsor and
supporter of the program. The CAA grant and
contribution from McDonald’s was used to provide an extra value meal reward
for all participants in the program.
The following special
dignitaries were also on hand at the special recognition ceremony:
Chris Friel, Mayor of Brantford; Jeff Kellner, Brantford Police Chief; and Geoff Nelson, Deputy
Police Chief; Jean Anderson, Chair of the Brantford Police Services Board;
and CAA Safety Patrol Honorary Spokesperson, Jennifer Botterill,
Canadian Olympian – Women’s National Hockey Team.

This year school safety patrollers from Centennial
Grand Woodlands School were selected to have their photograph taken with representatives
from McDonald’s Community Relations, Lynn Fletcher and local Brantford CAAManager, Penny Lyons-Johnston.
The
distinguished Mayor’s award were issued to three
school safety Patroller’s of the Year, and one Patrol School Safety
Supervisor of the year.
