About School Bus Safety Awareness Week

Observed every year during the third full week of October, National School Bus Safety Week is a time to bring awareness to the importance of keeping students safe on and around school buses. It’s an opportunity for parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus drivers, and school communities to come together and highlight safe practices. Across Nova Scotia and beyond, this week serves as a reminder that school bus safety is a shared responsibility; on the road, at the bus stop, and in classrooms.
