Alberta Motor Association celebrates 86 years with the school safety patrol program. They thanked 350 of their young volunteers in Lethbridge by providing a Skate with the Canes day at Enmax Centre.
It’s not everyday you get to lace up your skates beside your hometown hockey heroes. But that’s exactly what hundreds of 5th and 6th graders got to do today. These are the 350 AMA school safety patrols who volunteer their time to guide pedestrians, like their fellow schoolmates, safely across the crosswalks at their schools before and after class. As AMA’s way of saying thank you and to celebrate 86 years of keeping Alberta’s youth safe through the school safety patrol program, these young volunteers got to skate along side the Lethbridge Hurricanes, and members of the Lethbridge Police Service at Enmax Centre.
According to A-M-A, in the 86 years of the program there have been zero fatalities or serious injuries when a patroller is on a crosswalk.
