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,

We are doing it again Mattawa & Area! The 5th Annual Let’s Remember Adam, Fill the Bus Toy & Food Drive!
This is our 5th year hosting this event, and through the generosity of this community, every year is a huge success. We were able to make Christmas a lot brighter for many families in our area. We truly thank every one of you for that.
Once again, we will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items and new unopened toys for kids aged 0-14. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept used toys due to COVID regulations still.
All donations will be given to the Mattawa & Area Food Bank to help local families. We want to do whatever we can to help make sure that no child goes without a gift this Christmas and food on the table. This year there is an extra push needed as more and more families are having to use the Food Bank just to get by.
Everyone who donates can enter a draw to win a family-friendly gift basket.
This year we will be in a NEW location. On Saturday, November 30th between 10 am-2 pm come look for the big yellow school bus 🚌 Parked right out front of Foodland's Garden Center on Main Street in Mattawa. We have also made arrangements for 🎅 Santa to join us again from 12 pm to 2 pm. So please bring your camera to get a photo with Santa!
If you are not able to make it to us that day and still want to donate, please contact Pierre Ranger, Sara Ranger, Deb Ranger, Dee Burton, or anyone from Let’s Remember Adam and we will make arrangements to get your donations. We also have committee members who live in the North Bay Area who are willing to collect items as well.
Please contact me (Pierre Ranger) at 705-840-8871 or email [email protected] if you have any questions! ... See MoreSee Less

Children are on highways and roads getting on and off school buses, from September to June.🏃 🚌 🚶♀️
Watch for school buses and flashing lights! 🔴✨🟡✨
Motorists travelling from both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing. Motorists must not proceed until the driver turns off the lights and retracts the stop sign.
Kids and their parents are counting on this. More: bit.ly/4fM9BFY ... See MoreSee Less

Ya people treat the amber lights like traffic lights they speed up b4 it turns red....makes me sick....
School buses are back picking up and dropping off children this week after a more than 2 month break so it's time for a reminder that it is every motorists responsibility to be aware of the signals, signs and movements of school buses when encountering them on the roads.
🟡YELLOW🟡 flashing overhead lights is advance warning that the bus is about to stop to pick up or drop off school children. Upon activation of these lights, motorists approaching from the front or behind must prepare to stop as well, however they are still permitted to pass IF safe to do so before the bus comes to a stop.
🔴RED🔴 flashing overhead lights and the Stop Arm 🛑 extended means that the school bus has come to a complete stop and school children are either approaching or exiting the bus. Passing a school bus at any point while the red lights are flashing and the stop arm deployed is illegal and punishable by fines between $400 and $2000 PLUS 6 Demerit points. It is also considered a "Major Ticket" by insurance companies resulting in a significant jump in premiums. ... See MoreSee Less
