History

Since the creation of the Safety Patrol Program (SSP) in 1922 by the Chicago Motor Club, millions of youthful volunteers have served as School Safety Patrollers in more than 30 countries. CAA/AAA Clubs sponsor safety patrol programs in more than 50,000 schools.

CAA Saskatchewan began sponsorship of the SSP in 1951 and now, more than 6,000 patrollers assist at approximately 225 schools around the province. CAA Saskatchewan supplies training materials, supplies, stop paddles and reflective vests free of charge or at cost. There has never been a serious or fatal injury collision at a crosswalk controlled by our School Safety Patrollers.

Guardian

CAA Saskatchewan produces an annual newsletter for Safety Patrol coordinators called The Guardian. Check out the latest issue.

Jamboree

CAA Saskatchewan also hosts an annual Provincial School Safety Patrol Jamboree to reward patrollers for their contribution to helping protect their fellow students. Held every May since 1990 in Regina (in conjunction with Provincial School Safety Patrol Week), the Jamboree is attended by more than 120 patrollers and chaperons. The agenda includes visits to the Legislative Building, the RCMP Heritage Centre, Government House and the Saskatchewan Science Centre, as well as entertainment and other fun activities.
