Be Alert On First Day Of School

Drivers are reminded that Tuesday is the first day of school for thousands of students across Chatham-Kent.

While some of the older students might not be so thrilled, the younger kids will be very excited to go to school so they might not be watching where they are running.

Drivers should take extra care and watch for kids everywhere.

Chatham-Kent Police Constable Rene Cowell also reminds drivers that school busses will be back on the roads and to watch for those flashing lights.

Cowell says “ motorists failing to comply may be issued a $490 dollar fine and six demerit points”.
