The City of Red Deer has notified us that residential snow plowing began on November 14th. We are sharing this information with you as we ask that you please take time to talk with your child(ren) about safety around heavy equipment. Children are naturally curious about the equipment, but it is very dangerous for them to be close to the machinery while it is operating. We want to ensure safety to and from school for our students and want to discourage congregating along the roadways at drop off and pick up times as this increases risk.

For more information regarding the city of Red Deers snow and ice removal program and to access up to date schedules for snow removal within your neighborhood, visit www.reddeer.ca/snow.
