The City of Peterborough has an inclement weather procedure that could affect the availability of crossing guards at local schools during severe weather or Environment Canada warnings.
If crossing guard service is suspended, the city will post updates on their website and social media channels. Families can also sign up for direct notifications through the City of Peterborough Subscription Alerts under the Crossing Guard Service Alerts category. The subscription page is available at peterborough.ca/subscribe.
Officials say this procedure at the discretion of the City of Peterborough and is separate from school transportation decisions that occur on inclement weather days.
Families are advised to take extra precautions on days when crossing guards are not on duty and to ensure children travel to and from school safely.
