Welcome to the School Crossing Guard Guide Training Course! This comprehensive training is designed to supplement the newly updated 2023 School Crossing Guard Guide, providing detailed instruction and practical tips for implementing its methodologies and guidelines.

Course Background

The original School Crossing Guard Guide was established in 2006, coinciding with the founding of Twitter—a fun fact for trivia enthusiasts! In 2017, a significant update was conducted in collaboration with the Ontario Traffic Council, introducing formal warrant methodologies and guidelines. Since then, professionals across Ontario have relied on the 2017 guide for their daily decision-making processes. Over time, the need for further improvements and clarifications became apparent, leading to the strategic update in 2023. This update retains the structure of the 2017 guide while offering localized clarifications and additions.

Course Purpose
