This May, Saskatchewan recognizes the leadership of about 2,500, grade five to eight students during CAA School Safety Patrol Month, as proclaimed by the Ministry of Education.

“On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, we offer our sincere thanks to CAA for providing 75 years of dedicated service to the health and safety of Saskatchewan students,” Education Minister Everett Hindley said.

“We are proud to recognize May as CAA School Safety Patrol Month in honour of the patrollers who monitor our school zones, act as road-safety role models and help keep their friends and classmates safe throughout the year.”

The CAA School Safety Patrol program empowers student volunteers across Saskatchewan to promote safety in school zones and help fellow students get to school safely. Students like Alyssa Reeder at Gladys McDonald School in Regina, gain valuable skills such as confidence, time management, and teamwork.

“I really like helping the community and doing everything I can to make our school a safer place,” said Reeder.

“It was interesting to see the students that signed up, and how they flourished with their leadership skills.” said Lisa Kowalyshyn, principal at Gladys McDonald School. 

As the program nears its 75th anniversary this fall (2026-2027 school year), its lasting impact continues to be felt beyond the crosswalk and into workplaces across Saskatchewan.
