Become a Crossing Guard
What does it take to become a crossing guard? We're glad you asked.
Every year the Town of Pelham seeks crossing guards to help fill the gaps where posts require guard assistance. Helping children get to and from school safely is a big part of the job, but ensuring that both pedestrians and motorists are paying attention is equally important.
Crossing guards are visual representatives of our community and;
- Set proper examples
- Encourage patterns of safe crossing
- Conduct is reasonable and prudent
- Know and follow all policies and procedures
- Know the scope of their authority and responsibility
Pelham crossing guards are provided the information and equipment they need to fulfil the duty asked of them. If you'd like to learn more about being a crossing guard, or have questions, please contact our senior bylaw officer, Craig Genesse at 905-892-2607 x204.
