CAA-Quebec School Safety Patrols
For children’s safety
Safety Patrols: A long-standing tradition in Quebec schools
Did you know? CAA-Quebec School Safety Patrols have been in existence since 1929! Thousands of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders have learned, applied, and passed on safety rules over the years. Stationed on street corners, in school playgrounds, on school buses and around schools, Safety Patrols are there to keep students safe.
