A few still exist but are barely legible. This is a simple education campaign. e-bikes and e-scooters are frequently speeding past at 20-25km speeds past seniors and those with accessibility needs hitting or nearly hitting them, on sidewalks. Most pedestrians hit on our streets don’t submit reports.

I was an assistant to Trustees back then and it is very sad to see history repeat itself. But the reality is the chronic underfunding started with the Harris Government and no successive government has done anything to fix it. Learning how to swim should not be a luxury, it is a life saving skill.
