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

However, we can share the total for monetary donations:
✨ OVER $5,000 in monetary donations

🚨 STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES — A CHILD WAS HURT 🚨
Once again, someone failed to stop for a school bus… and a child was injured because of it. This incident could have been so much worse, and my heart goes out to the child and their family. I truly hope they make a full and speedy recovery. ❤️
Ontario NEEDS stronger laws – just like the “stunting laws.”
We need mandatory, factory-installed stop-arm cameras on every school bus in Ontario. No exceptions. No delays. Our children’s safety must come first.
Let’s be very clear: A school bus is big. It’s yellow. It has RED flashing lights and a STOP sign.
There is no excuse for not stopping. None.
Let’s Remember Adam will not stop pushing for change until our kids can travel to and from school safely—without their lives being put at risk because someone couldn’t be bothered to follow the law.
Ontario, it’s time to step up.
It’s time to protect our children.
It’s time to make real change.
🚨 Let’s Remember Adam STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUSES. 🚨
#letsrememberadam #istopyoustop #juststop #FullStop #redmeansstop #stoparmcameras #ChildSafety #SchoolBusSafetyA child has suffered minor injuries after being hit by a car on Highway 17 in the Rolphton area, west of Deep River.
On Tuesday, November 25th, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP responded to the scene. It was learned that a 10-year-old child had just gotten off a westbound school bus and was crossing the road when the eastbound car failed to stop and stuck the child. The bus had its red flashing lights and stop arm activated.
The child was transported to hospital by Renfrew County Paramedics. One person was arrested at the scene.
A 29-year-old man from Dorval, Quebec has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act with:
·Careless driving causing bodily harm
·Failing to stop for a school bus with its lights activated
The driver was released and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Pembroke on December 15, 2025.
The OPP encourages all drivers to keep their eyes on the road ahead and be especially alert to school buses which are making frequent stops. Thankfully this child was not seriously hurt, but failing to stop for a stopped school bus can be deadly.
