The new school year is right around the corner and The Pas Public Safety Officer Harley Bon has some important back to school safety tips for both parents and children.

He said it is important to drop off children at designated drop off spots at their schools, and that children should always look both ways before crossing the street.

Bon would also like to remind motorists not to go around school buses when there sign is out and there lights are on. Going around a school bus like this can put a childs life in danger.
