The Toronto District School Board has decided to close all elementary and junior high schools, to students, on Friday, January 11, 2013.

As a result, Traffic Services is notifying the public that there will be no school crossing guards at any of the TDSB elementary and junior high school designated crossing areas.

Parents and care-givers should review pedestrian safety with their children, and reinforce the basic guidelines of “Stop, Look and Listen,” when crossing the street. Motorists are being asked, as well, to pay particular attention to these normally controlled crossing areas.

The Toronto Police Service is dedicated to ensuring the safe and orderly movement of traffic within Toronto. Education with enforcement and awareness is pivotal to the safe and efficient flow of traffic in our city.
