Please also remember – dogs are not permitted on school grounds (a NV district bylaw).

We have been lobbying the district, including speaking to mayor and council, for additional safety support and we have made great headway. We have been approved for a crossing light at Highlands/Handsworth, new white delineators have been placed next to the crosswalk, we have an additional crosswalk coming North/South at Belvista Dr., and much more. More safety updates to come soon.
