Tuesday is the first day back after a long, smoky summer.
Your children’s clothes have all been washed and laid out. The lunch menus for the first week back have been planned out. All the school supplies have been purchased, with containers labelled.
OK, maybe none of that has been done yet – we’ve been busy enjoying the last weekend of summer, right?
Whatever you’ve prepared, the most important you can be ready for is your children’s safety.
That means finding the safest route for your kids to walk to school. To help with this, the City of New Westminster has an online link on the best walking routes to 12 elementary schools.
Just go on the site and click on your area school and up pops a handy map with all the key routes. There are also plenty of good walking tips to ensure a safe trek.
