Show Notes
Langford councillor Kimberly Guiry is advocating for the reinstatement of active transportation grants from the province, following BCs switch to permanent daylight saving time. This change has led to darker mornings, posing safety risks for students walking to school. Guirys motion for these grants aims to improve paths and lighting, with local funds complementing provincial support. Parents and school officials express concerns, while Guiry pushes for additional safety measures like lights and reflective gear for students. The Sooke School District and Walking School Bus group are also taking steps to enhance safety and visibility. Langford has increased its crossing guard budget, and enforcement efforts are intensifying to ensure young walkers safety throughout the winter.
