St. John Building Falls

At Fox Run
ain Street Minnedosa has undergone

some significant changes
this summer. Earlier this
summer, the handsome
historic stone building at
the corner of Main Street
and 2nd Avenue S.E. was
demolished along with the
small office building south
of it and this past Wednesday, the old brick St. John
building just south of the
Main Street bridge came
tumbling down.
Th e one-storey brick
structure has appeared basically unchanged in its exterior appearance for over
a century.
In recent years, the
building has sat vacant and
was used from time-totime as a shooting practice
range for Caroline Sims.
Her father, Norm had taken over the building from
longtime Minnedosa lawyer Don St. John.
Don took over the
family law practice in 1963
from his father Cecil Lorne
St. John who began practicing law in Minnedosa
in 1908. Ironically, he had
purchased the law practice
of E.W. Pearson, original
owner of the stone building demolished earlier this
year - The Pearson Block.

the collapse of the original
Minnedosa Dam on May
4th, 1948.

The crumbling front facade of the old St. John Law Office collapsed with
a single blow from the heavy claw of Lamb Construction of Newdale Wednesday morning.
The power of the rushing
water carried one of the
large concrete balls from
the cenotaph across Main
Street through the front
wall of the St. John build-
ing. The heavy ball continued through the building

and bashed through the
back wall before coming
to rest in the rear parking
lot. The entire south wall
of the St. John building was

also destroyed during the

fl ood. Although it experienced the most extensive
damage of any building
during the fl ood, the old
law office was repaired and
continued to serve clients
for many more decades.

At this time, there are
no plans for any new development in the vacant
space between the 50+
Centre and Minnedosa

Longboarders Compete In Minnedosa

By RYAN THORPE
n Saturday, September 3rd, a longboarding race was held in

Minnedosa. The race was
organized by Scam Skate,
a Winnipeg based skateboarding company, followed by a slide-jam competition held on Saturday
in Brandon.
Weve done quite a
few events in the past,
said Gavin Barrett, cofounder of Scam Skate,
some races here in Winnipeg and at Birds Hill
Park, but this is the first
sanctioned event that
we know of in Manitoba
where a city has given
permission to close down
the road and set up a race
course.
We really just want
to build our community.
Longboarding is growing
really fast, but there really isnt a whole lot going on for longboarding,
especially
considering
that were in the prairies
where everything is fairly
flat. So we really just hope
that everyone has a good
time and that we can give
the locals something to
participate in where they
dont have to travel out to
B.C. or Ontario for good
riding and events. We just
want to give the people
here in Manitoba something that they can participate in while having a
good time. Hopefully well
be able to turn it into annual event.
Th e portion of the
event held in Minnedosa
was a longboarding race.
The track began at 5th Avenue S.E. and followed a
route down 1st Street S.E.,

before taking a left-hand
corner on 4th Avenue
and fi nishing up on Main
Street. The slide-jam portion of the event was held
the following day in Brandon. Slide-jamming is the
practice of building up
speed before descending
a hill on a longboard, kicking the board out to the
side in order to skid for as
much distance or style as
possible.
Scam
Skate
was
founded two years ago
in Winnipeg by Portageborn skaters Gavin Barrett
and Joel Baker. The company, which makes skate
and longboards, produce
all of their products locally in Winnipeg. They have
also established a retail
shop where they sell the
goods and accessories as-
sociated with the sport, as

well as operating a screen
printing shop where they
manufacture their own
clothing.
In the past weve had
turnouts from anywhere
between 10 and 30 people
as far as participants go,
said Barrett, thats not including family and spectators.
A local committee established to raise money
for the Rivers Edge skate
park hosted a barbeque
throughout the day in
order to raise money for
building costs. Scam Skate
also held a raffle with proceeds going to the Rivers
Edge Skate Park.

Fun For All Ages Next Weekend At The Beach

By VERN MAY
hat began as a discussion about capitalizing on Minnedosas

reputation as western
Canadas premiere rowing and paddling venue
on Minnedosa Lake has
taken an unexpected turn,
resulting in a creative new
event for the autumn calendar here in the community.
In December 2015,
principals from the Westman Dragonboat Association met with community officials to discuss
the possibility of hosting
a festival here. As the lake
is used by two Brandon
teams weekly for practices, it was felt that it would
be a great fit to hold a race
day here and showcase
the lake and beach to the
larger community of competitive paddlers. With
an endorsement from
both the Recreation office
and the CDC office, plans
started to take shape.
However, even with
local participation to
prepare for the event, in-

cluding the addition of a

Rec-sponsored outdoor
movie night on the beach,
the dragonboat associations contribution didnt
match the participation of
local event organizers and
the decision was made to
cancel the races, due to
low registration numbers
eight weeks out from the
festival date.
In the meantime, local sponsors, vendors and
participants had been
lined up. So the focus of
the event has changed,
but the date will still proceed and its sure to be an
event that the whole family will want to attend.
Theres Life After Labour Day will be held at
the beach on Saturday,
September 17th starting
at 1:00 p.m. and features
a number of events and
activities to encourage
the active participation of
all ages. The focus of the

afternoon will be Win it

a series of skill-testing
team competitions for
both adults as well as the
youngsters. Teams of five
will compete in events
such as a pool noodle
race, hula hoop contest,
Junk in the Trunk and
others. Its intended to be
a family fun day that encourages mom and dad to
participate, not just enjoy
from the sidelines.
When the event
changed from a race festival, we wanted to make
sure that we didnt just
become a kid-focused attraction, says event chair
Karen May. Minnedosa
already has a number
of kids events throughout the year, and we do
it well. What we wanted
was to get the parents and

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
Setting A New Course For The Future

Under The Dome
By
GREG NESBITT
Riding Mountain MLA
ur new Manitoba government has taken

fi rm steps in its first 100
days to begin making this
the most improved province in Canada.
Our Progressive Conservative team has charted
a course with a careful approach to ensure the protection of front-line services Manitobans rely on
and the jobs of those who
provide them. At the same
time, we have launched
initiatives aimed at eliminating government waste
and developing strategic
partnerships to put Manitoba onto a responsible fiscal path.
What weve achieved
since forming the government after Aprils election
has set the course we will

follow in the years ahead.
In these first 100 days under Premier Brian Pallister, we have delivered the
accountability and transparency that became lost
under the previous NDP
administration. Our Open
Government Initiative has
led to the release of ministerial mandate letters as
well as the introduction of
legislation for fixed dates
for election campaigns
and a six-month limit for
calling by-elections.
To fi nd effi ciencies
and savings, we have begun a comprehensive
value-for-money review
of government projects
and have reduced the size
of cabinet by one-third.
We have also found savings for Manitobans in

our fi rst budget by indexing income tax brackets to
the rate of inflation, and
by reducing ambulance
fees with a commitment to
further reductions in coming years. As well, our new
government has abolished
the vote tax subsidy for
political parties and has
committed to restore the
right of Manitobans to vote
on major tax increases.
We are giving municipalities the important fair
say they have called for
in strategic infrastructure
investments by holding
regular planning meetings
with them and with industry stakeholders, and by
creating a single-window
application system for
cost-shared funding.
Our government is
working in partnership
with Manitobans. Were
building a foundation for a
relationship based on trust
with Indigenous leaders,
which will involve our duty
to consult them. Were also
consulting the tourism industry to develop a strategy for improved promotion

and investment.
To bring more prosperity to Manitobans,
were in talks with other
provinces on trade opportunities and have made
strong progress on joining
the New West Partnership
with Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia,
and on a new Canada Free
Trade Agreement.
Despite inheriting a
daunting fiscal challenge
left by the previous government, we have begun
to steer the province in the
right direction. However,
much work lies ahead. We
will continue to build on
our partnerships and consult Manitobans on their
priorities as we fulfill our
vision for a better Manitoba and a brighter future
for those who live here.

Road Work Through Park Underway

SUBMITTED
obert Sopuck, Member of Parliament for

Dauphin-Swan
RiverNeepawa, was pleased
to see the second phase
of road and drainage improvements on Highway
#10 get underway Tuesday,
September 6th.
People who live in
and around the Park are
aware of how important
these upgrades are. For
tourists coming to enjoy
our incredibly diverse and
beautiful national park,
this will only further enhance their experience,
said MP Robert Sopuck.

Highway #10, which
traverses Riding Mountain National Park from
the south to north gates,
plays a critical role in the
smooth flow of people and
goods through the region.
The fi rst phase of this important road upgrade was
approved by the federal
government in 2014, with
the first phase of roadwork
being completed in the
fall of 2015. The tendering
process for this years work

1886 Since good times have again struck Rapid City,
a number of old timers are again returning.
1896 On Labour Day, many Minnedosans betook
themselves in the rural districts in quest of quiet spots
and ponds where they might find ducks to shoot at.
1916 So many members of the volunteer fire brigade
having joined the military forces, the brigade is about depleted. There are enough young men about town to take
their places and it is hoped many will do so.
1936 Glowing in the knowledge of a good job well

done, Town Councillors beamed and grinned, chortled
and chirped over the announcement from the Manitoba Power Commission that there will be an increase in
street lighting from dusk to dawn.
1956 There has been a slight decrease in enrollment
at Minnedosa Schools this year. The South School has
164 pupils, the North School 180 pupils and the Collegiate 132 pupils.
1966 With the beginning of the new school year, several hundred students formerly attending the little red
schoolhouses will now gather at the front gate to await
the arrival of the school bus to transport them to town.
1976 The Board of the Rolling River School Division

has appointed Bill Crooks to the position of Transportation Supervisor. Bill has worked as a mechanic with the
Division since 1971. As a result, Ray Bazin has been promoted to Shop Foreman and another mechanic will be
hired.
1986 About 1,800 people bet slightly more than

$70,000 at last weekends harness racing meet. Organizers say the attendance and amount wagered is the best in
the four years of the Minnedosa meet.
1996 Mohawk has launched their newest division: Fibrotein Cereal Products, at their Minnedosa processing
plant. Fibrotein Wheat Flakes have been recognized by
Health and Welfare Canada as a source of dietary fibre.

We also inherited a
large bread pan that mom
used to mix up 18 loaves
of bread at a time. The
metal is polished from the
thousands of loaves worth
of dough that have been
kneaded in it. Every time
I lift it down from where it
hangs in the pantry, it elicits bitter-sweet thoughts
of bygone days.
This sense of nostalgia
isnt restricted to memories of mom alone. I get
this same feeling when
specifi c times involving
our kids are triggered.
Which then reminds me
how quickly the girls have
grown.
Sometimes this trigger is a place. For many
summers, Lake Katherine
was our familys favourite
swimming hole, and we
spent many hours there.
We dont spend as
much time on the lake
these days, but I often get
pangs of nostalgia when
I go back there and stand
on the dock, thinking of
days gone by.

Which then makes me
want to put on my science
hat. More specifi cally, it
makes me wonder what
the evolutionary benefits
are of these feelings of
nostalgia. Obviously there
is some reason we have
these feelings.
When I did a search on
the internet, I was pleasantly surprised to find a
large amount of scientific
work compiled on nostalgia. I wont bore you with
the details, but will summarise the main points,
including that nostalgia
allows couples to maintain closer bonds through
sharing memories, as well
as makes us more empathetic.
It also appears to help
us with transitions, as we
think back on our shared
past. Transitions associated with getting older, having our kids move away,
and losing our parents.
So when I fi nd myself thinking about past
events, maybe it isnt such
a bad thing.

This McDermott ad appeared in
The Tribune 80 years ago this week.
McDermotts Minnedosa store is today home
to Liberty Physiotheray and Minnedosa
Chiropractic Centre. His Clanwilliam
location is the large two-storey building
just south of the Clanwilliam General
Store and Mud Pie Diner.
Spruce trees throughout the region have produced literally thousands

of cones this summer,
and with this production,
white-winged crossbills
have returned to the Parkland en masse.
I have discussed this
phenomenon before
cone production doesnt
just impact red squirrel populations, but also
those of crossbills and
red-breasted nuthatches.
Suddenly, the tree
tops are alive with bird
song, as crossbills begin
to mate and nest, despite
the fact we are heading
into winter. The return
of crossbills generally
happens every couple of
years, yet each time it happens, Im surprised anew.
Along with the crossbills, red-breasted nuthatches also suddenly arrive from other parts of the
boreal forest. How they
know that the cone crop is
plentiful is a bit of a mystery to me. Is it the smell
of the ripened cones?
Birds generally have a terrible sense of smell, so I
went investigating
And came up empty
handed. It seems that the
birds just wander around
until they fi nd food. I
guess it works, because
there sure are a lot of birds
enjoying our cones at the
moment.
Also, a couple of
months ago, I wrote about
tick populations being
related to the fox population. Well it appears that
this crazy idea actually appears to have some scientific basis.
Following a discussion with Shirley Schroeder of Polonia, I went looking for proof of my theory.
And actually found it.
A scientist in New
York State has written several papers related to tick
populations, Lymes disease, and predator (fox)
populations. He found
that as fox populations
decrease, the population
levels of small mammals
increase.
In turn, tick populations then increase, as the
ticks are able to find more
intermediate hosts (mice
and voles) to develop on.
Finally, this increase in
tick populations can result in an increase in the
prevalence of Lymes and
other tick borne diseases.
I guess my wild hypotheses can sometimes
verge on being correct.
But Im not letting it go to
my head. And if you hate
ticks, you should embrace
foxes. From a distance.

the difference in population density.
One pleasant surprise for Kosuke is his
daily commute to school.
In Japan, his daily travel
requires a 40 minute train
ride to school, which is
certainly much different
from the ten minute walk
that he will experience in
Minnedosa.
While he is here, he
is anxious to take part
in activities that are not
as accessible to him in
Japan. He has already
been a frequent visitor
to the Minnedosa Golf
and Country Club, has
expressed an interest in
learning to skate and he
may be looking to hit the

ski hills this winter.
While
Kosuke
is
enjoying our hospitality here, two Minnedosa
youth have had the opportunity to participate in
the outbound Rotary exchange program as well.
Veronica Toichoa-Fulford
is currently spending a
year in Colombia and Alexandra Enns just departed this weekend for a year
in Leese, Italy. Dozens of
area youth have benefited
from the cultural enrichment of participation in
the exchange program
over the past three decades and the program
is one of the key efforts
of our local Rotary Club
each year.

Once Again Were Asking Whats the Big Idea?

By VERN MAY
f the dream of owning

your own business and
taking charge of your financial future are high on your
priority list, then Neepawa
is where you want to be on
Thursday, October 20th at
the ArtsForward community studio.
On the heels of a successful debut in 2015,
Minnedosa and Neepawa
are partnering again this
fall to take the pulse of

business ideas pitched before a panel of local judges
and among them, three of
the award winners went on
to open their new business
in the following months.
Its a success that organizers are hoping to build
upon with this years sequel.
Within eight weeks of
emerging from last years
event as a winner of three
awards, including the RBC
award for Best Pitch of the
Day, Marlies Soltys had
already signed a lease on
a Main Street commercial
property in Minnedosa and
within weeks launched the
Inspire Studio of Fine Art.
The studio, now open six

days per week, features the
works of more than three
dozen local artisans, has
hosted intimate live music
showcases and has offered
workshops on various artistic disciplines. Of the
event, Soltys posted this
on social media recently:

was our turning point last
year it gave me the opportunity to share my idea,
get feedback, plus some
great incentives to keep

Inspire Studio would not
be what it is today without
this big start. So if theres
an idea fl oating around in
your mind that you think
may be something fantastic in our and for our community, I highly recommend you bring forth your
idea, youll be so glad you
did!

Strathclair Graduate Publishes Novel

By DARRELL NESBITT
Crossroads This Week
Were past the age
of heroes and hero kings,
author John Updike once
said. Most of our lives
are basically mundane
and dull, and its up to the
writer to find ways to make
them interesting.
With the release of
her fi rst novel, Transcendence, earlier this year,
that is exactly what Strathclair-based author Lisa Cochrane is striving to do.
As a young grade
school student, the dream
of putting thoughts down

over the years from writing longer articles to being
involved with the on-line

which Cochrane is a part
of ).
Transcendence is the
first book in The Natharien
Chronicles, which will be a
trilogy. Cochrane, 24, is in
the process of writing both
a prequel and a sequel for
the 240-page book.
I got the idea for it
back in 2010 and had the
outline tucked away in my
files for a long time before
I came back to it last summer, at which time I had a
renewed interest in it and
was determined to finish
writing it for NaNoWriMo,
Cochrane stated with a
hint of pride in her answer.
As you can see, I accomplished my goal! It wasnt
truly complete until I redrafted and edited it twice
more though, so it was
only officially completed
this May.
Transcendence is set
in the fantasy realm of
Natharien, a realm with a
monarchy that has been
growing more corrupt
throughout the past years.
Serafi na, the main characters mother, has passed
away, and her father the
king has remarried but
the new queen has her
own daughter, and wants
Serafi na out of the way as
crown princess. So when
Photo by Darrell Nesbitt
LPN Lisa Cochrane, fascinated by

writing since age eight, showcased her first
novel at the Strathclair Fair.
an assassin is sent after
her, its a good thing she
has a mysterious ally to run
to but shell have to find
him first.
Transcendence was
self-published
through
a company called CreateSpace, a subsidiary of
Amazon geared towards
independent authors. The
book is currently available
for purchase at the Strathclair Community Centre,
and Coles in Brandon.
People interested can contact Cochrane via email at

lisacochrane@hotmail.ca.
EARLY START
Transcedence is a
dream come true for Cochrane.
I guess you could say
the dream of having a novel published all began back
in Grade 3, when I would
jot down the dreams I had
and the adventures I want-
ed to have including living

on a ranch or being a fairy,
stated Cochrane. It stayed
that way until about Grade
6, when I started writing in
collaboration with other
writers, using online forums to make stories about
my own characters and
how they would interact
with other peoples characters.
Then in about Grade 8,
Cochrane started writing
longer stories and getting
bigger ideas for the things
she wanted to write about.
She started working on novellas and series and was
constantly improving her
craft. Cochrane stated that
English was always one of
her favourite subjects in
school because even when
she wasnt writing her own
stories, even just reading the assigned literature
would inspire her and give
her new ideas on how to
improve.
Graduating
from
Strathclair
Community
School in 2010, Cochrane
went straight into the
Health Care Aide (HCA)
course at Assiniboine
Community College and
after graduating ended up
taking her Practical Nurs-
ing there as well. Today,

along with achieving her
HCA certifi cate, she now
also has her Licensed
Practical Nurse diploma.
However, there is more
to the daughter of Don and
Marian Cochrane than
writing, as the multi-artist
a prodigy of the communities of Shoal Lake and
Strathclair since the age of
five is also known to create art with a variety of medias.
Chalk pastels are my
media of choice, but I also
do scratch art, charcoal,
and digital art, Cochrane
said. I am also the lead
singer and writer for the
local folk duo The Spectators, and I play piano
and dabble in guitar. The
Spectators, with Mackenzie Knight being other half
of the duo, will have an EP
coming out next month.
As for her writing ambitions, The Natharien
Chronicles is not the only
trilogy that Cochrane has
planned for her fantasy
realm. She also has another trilogy called The
Solan Chronicles planned,
with the writing for the first
book near completion at
this very moment.
Removing Perfume Smell From Books And Fabric

Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
In an apartment building that I own, the client
cooked on the ceramic
top stove but neglected to
clean the top surface and
now the food is all baked
on. How can I start the removal of the old baked on
mess? Jean
cook tops but a little dish

soap, water and the razor
tool is all that you really
need.
Dear Reena,
When I lend books
to my friend they come
back smelling strongly of perfume and/or
creams.Sometimes after
Ive visited her my clothes
also reek of perfume. I am
highly allergic to strong
odours. How do I get the
perfume smells out of my
books and clothes? Marion
Dear Jean,
Head to a store where
appliances are sold. They
will sell you a tool that
looks like a razorblade.
This little gadget will not
damage the surface but it
will save you time and effort in cleaning the stove Dear Marion,
top each time you use it.
Leaving books and
Th ere are also products fabrics outside on a dry
on the market for cleaning day is an eff ective way to
zap odours. When you

bring your items back into
your home, soak fabrics
in borax and water before
washing (according to the
care label directions). As
for the books, place them
in a plastic container or
garbage bag with either
kitty litter or charcoal. Or
lay the books in your freezer for a couple of hours
that should zap any lingering odours.
Dear Jean,
I have recently noticed
a layer of strange coloured
soil on all my houseplants
that looks fuzzy much like
white mold. I do not water
my plants very often and
am wondering what the
cause of this is. What is the
best way to get rid of it and
prevent it from happening again? I just mixed it
into the soil but am thinking perhaps I should have
scraped it off. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Sheri
Dear Sheri,
Depending on where
you live the problem may
be the amount of salt in
your water. In other words,
if you have a salt softener
on your cold water taps
and you are using cold water to water your plants,
the white layer that you
see forming may be salt
and not mold. If this is not
the case, typically mold
comes from over watering
your plants. Wait until the
soil is dry two inches deep
before watering. Or move
the plants to an area where
they will receive additional sun. If the problem
remains, re-pot the plants
and start over with sterile
soil.
Dear Reena,
I have a problem that
I am unable to resolve. I
used rubber/silicon feet
to support some display
items on a window sill
which was exposed to
morning sun on the east
side. After a few weeks I
discovered that these feet

left marks on the paint of
the sill. I tried many products to remove these marks
without success. I was hoping not to have to sand and
paint the whole area. I did
try sanding with a very fi ne
paper (DIAMOND GRIT
600) without any success. I
would very much appreciate any suggestions. Harvey
Dear Harvey,
What I would use in
your case is plain old baking soda and water. Make
a paste. Leave for 20 minutes and scrub hard. If the
marks remain, spray the
area with WD-40. Wait for
10 minutes and wipe. If
the marks are still there,
you will need to clean the
area with TSP and water or
dish soap and water and
re-paint (test everything
on an inconspicuous area
before using).
Fabulous Painting
Tips of the Week:
Prevent white paint
from yellowing by adding
a drop of black paint to the
can.
Use a roller made
for rough surfaces when
painting over a stippled
ceiling.
Tint primer to the colour that you are hoping to
paint, that way you can see
if that is the colour that you
really want.
Note: Every user assumes all risks of injury
or damage resulting from
the implementation of any
suggestions in this column.
Test all products on an inconspicuous area first.

OBITUARIES
ISLAY NOREEN BELL

FEBRUARY 24TH, 1922 AUGUST 3RD, 2016
Islay, beloved sister and aunt, died peacefully at Fairview Personal Care Home, where she had resided this past year. Islay
was born in Minnedosa to Donald and Agnes (ne Jury) Bell
who farmed in the Fairmount District near Basswood, Manitoba. She attended Basswood Consolidated School and completed her high school in Minnedosa while staying with her
grandmother, Agnes Jury. At the age of 18, she took her teacher
training at Brandon Normal School and she taught school at
Wallace and Rookhurst Schools. In July 1943, she enlisted in
the RCAF and took her basic training at Rockcliffe, Ontario. She
was posted to Gander, Newfoundland and worked as a Plotter.
A plotter tracked the flights coming and going from the airbase
and observed for any enemy aircraft. In 1945, she was posted to
RCAF Station Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Upon her release from
the air force, she commenced her nursing training at Winnipeg
General Hospital where she graduated in April, 1949. Her nursing career began at Souris, Manitoba, then on to Duncan and
Penticton, British Columbia. Eventually, she settled in Toronto
where she worked at Wellesley Hospital and finished her career
at Princess Margaret Hospital, a cancer research and care centre for 19 years. After retirement she remained in Toronto for
10 years and she returned to her home province in 1995, residing in Brandon at Colonial Estates for five years and in 2000 she
moved to Riverheights Terrance where she remained until her
health deteriorated.
During her time in Toronto she would often take her holidays
and visit her mother, siblings and their families. She enjoyed
her visits to each home and their activities which would include
picnics, spending time at the beach and camping together. In
her younger years she belonged to a ski club north of Toronto.
She travelled to different locations but one she often spoke of
was her trip to the Holy Land. She enjoyed reading, crossword
puzzles and kept up with current events.
She will be greatly missed by her brothers: Lawrence and
Arlene Bell and Neil and Mary Bell; her 16 nieces, nephews and
their families and cousins. She was predeceased by her parents,
and her sisters and their husbands: Margaret (2004) and Stanley
Greig (1973); Bob Greig (2006) and Isabella (Bella) (2004) and
Jack Belcher (2009) and brother, Francis (Frank) Bell (2000). A
Celebration of Life, officiated by Arlene Robertson was held in
the Brockie Donovan Chapel on Thursday, August 11th, 2016;
interment was at Fairmount Cemetery, prior to the service.

The School Buses Are Back
Photo by Darryl Holyk
SUBMITTED
ith a new school year

quickly approaching, the Canada Safety
Council reminds all drivers to be extra cautious as
school buses return to the
roads.
Despite it being an
annual occurrence, the return of school buses often

brings about episodes of
impatience, confusion regarding some of the rules
of the road and a spike
in fatalities and injuries
among young pedestrians
from September to November.
With this context in mind,

here are a few tips to ensure that everyone, from
you to the littlest bus rider
to the driver getting them
to school, is staying safe
on the roads:
Leave yourself a bit
of extra time to get wherever youre going. Being
in a rush is no excuse for

disobeying the rules of the
road and endangering the
lives of others.
When a bus has its
arm extended and flashing lights, stop. Its the
law. Do not proceed until
the lights are turned off, as
there may still be children
coming or attempting to
cross the street. In most
cases, traffi c in both directions must stop unless
separated by a median.
Slow down in school
zones. Be vigilant and
careful in residential areas
where children are present as well. Moving slowly
and predictably can help
children feel more at ease
and make them less likely
to try and rush.
Avoid doing manoeu-
vres like three-point turns

and U-turns in school
zones. Children are often
unfamiliar or simply not
expecting these, which
can cause them to be in
the wrong place at the
wrong time as a result.
Always obey crossing guards and signage,
especially as it relates to
pedestrians and school
zones.
Give cyclists a wide
berth. Many jurisdictions
require a minimum distance of one metre. Additionally, shoulder check
before opening your door
to ensure you dont accidentally open it in a cyclists path.
If youre able, choose
public transportation or an
active form of transporta-

vulnerable users.
Additionally, for parents driving their children
to school, be sure to never
let your child out of the

off into traffic. Make sure

sidewalk or away from the
fl ow of traffic. Also, consider driving a block or so

drivers jobs a bit easier.
Lets all do our part to
keep the roads safe for everyone.
