BLUE the Butterfly 

NEW interactive classroom program

This NEW interactive classroom program is coming to schools in the City of Niagara Falls this Fall!

Introducing BLUE the Butterfly who will be helping to teach Primary grade students about the importance of road safety for pedestrians, promoting active travel - walking & wheeling, for school, and the role of School Crossing Guards in their community!

Check out the video below and use this document to have BLUE the Butterfly visit your school!

school crossing guard whistling symbolsElectronic Whistles

A 2-Step system will help Crossing Guards communicate with pedestrians and motorists.

Step 1: When you hear the Crossing Guard's whistle, BE ON HIGH ALERT. After sounding the electronic whistle, the Guard will enter the roadway to ensure traffic has stopped. The whistle is an additional safety measure to the laws found under the Highway Traffic Act regarding school crossing locations.

Step 2: Once traffic has stopped, the Guard will then sound the whistle once (at a controlled crossing: traffic signals/all-way stop signs are present) or twice (at an uncontrolled crossing: NO traffic signals/all-way stop signs) to signal the pedestrians to cross. Always listen to your Crossing Guard and wait until they say it's safe to cross.
