In Ontario, drivers illegally pass school buses more than 30,000 times per day.
A Message from Adam's Brother
My name is Pierre Ranger, and I am the chair of the Let's Remember Adam STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS campaign. I am also one of Adam's brothers. Adam Ranger was just 5 years old when he was struck and killed while getting off the school bus and crossing the road at our family home by someone who did not stop for the flashing lights or stop-arm on the school bus.
We are calling on you for support and help.
We don't want any family to ever have to go through what we went and continue to go through.
On behalf of my family and the Let's Remember Adam campaign, I am asking you to help spread Adam's safety message to friends, family, politicians and beyond. Our governments and municipality leaders need to hear his message and must act now. Technology is out there to make school buses safer and to change driver behaviour. Stop Arm Camera Systems are just one of the many advances in school bus safety that can now be used.
Every time a school bus stops, that's a child’s life that is getting on or off it. We all need to do whatever we can to make sure every child can get to and from school safely.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, 
SCHOOL BUS STOP-ARM CAMERAS & OTHER SAFETY TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN ONTARIO

🎄 Merry Christmas from Let’s Remember Adam 🎄
Let’s Remember Adam would like to wish everyone a safe, joyful, and very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year as we head into 2026.
As we look ahead, our hope remains the same: a safer school bus season for every child. In 2026, we will continue our fight for stricter penalties, stronger laws around stop arm violations, and making stop arm cameras mandatory on all school buses in Ontario. We will not stop advocating until every child’s journey to and from school is safer.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us, shared Adam’s story, and helped spread his safety message. Your support keeps this movement going.
We look forward to everything we can continue to accomplish together in 2026. ❤️🚌

💔 Heartbreaking.
My family knows far too well the pain this mother and her family are feeling. When Adam was taken from us, our lives were forever destroyed, and the life we once knew was gone in an instant.
The Let’s Remember Adam campaign was created in the hope that no other family would ever have to suffer the loss of a child like we did. Yet time and time again, the message is ignored. Too many drivers still choose not to stop for school buses with red flashing lights and stop signs deployed—choosing convenience over the safety of children.
Once again, a child’s life has been taken. This is unacceptable.
Let’s Remember Adam will not stop until there are stricter laws and harsher penalties for those who put children’s lives in danger.
We will not stop until all school buses are equipped with stop-arm cameras.
And we will not stop until our government puts child safety as a TOP priority.
Our hearts go out to the family of young Dante. We commend his mother for the incredible strength it took to share their story. No family should ever have to endure this pain.
🚌❤️ Protect our children. Let's Remember Adam Stop for the bus.

I feel if you kill a child because you didn’t stop for the school bus…the charge should be first degree murder. No plea deals, no reduced sentences. You knew the consequences and chose to keep driving. That’s intent.
When I was at school bus driver here in Waterloo region I had cars blowing my stop arm all the time putting children at risk. It got so bad I started running my own dash cam which made them sitting ducks and I reported all who did and was in court many times and people were getting charged. I even went on ckco news who did a report on it and that's how the bus company that I drove for found out what I was doing. They came to me and said put that dash cam away or you're FIRED! I wasn't even getting paid to do this but I wanted to provide enhanced safety to my students and make those people breaking the law understand the risks for putting the students under by their actions. I see that here in Waterloo region there are still no cameras on the side of school buses to catch those breaking the law putting student lives at risk. I just don't understand why that is and they haven't adopted cameras like some areas in Ontario have. Does anybody have a thought on why that is?
Thank you to the Town of Mattawa and Casey Jones for all the support and helping spread Adam's safety message!! #letsrememberadam #paradeoflights #mattawa
