Yarrow Elementary
Yarrow Elementary
The parents and staff at Yarrow Elementary have participated in the Safer School Travel program developed by Safer City to identify school road safety related issues. The program strives to define priorities and create realistic solutions for addressing these issues. Yarrow Elementary worked together with key community partners to achieve this goal. Yarrow Elementary contacted the Chilliwack Safer City Coordinator, Ineke Schuurman to participate in the Safer School Travel (SST) Program in October 2005.
The solutions generated identify strategies from three key perspectives: Education, Enforcement and Engineering. The final plan identifies both short and long term goals within each focus. As part of their education strategy, Yarrow Elementary strongly advocates healthy lifestyles and fitness, encouraging students to walk and or bike to school.
Speeding on Yarrow Central Road was one of the issues identified by the Yarrow Elementary PAC. The Chilliwack RCMP and Speed Watch volunteers monitor driver behavior on Yarrow Central Road as part of the Safer School Travel program.
