Every weekday, dozens of men and women brave the rain, snow, sleet and extreme temperatures to make sure local students get to and from school safely. To celebrate their hard work and dedication, the Town of Halton Hills hosted Crossing Guard Appreciation Day on June 16. Local crossing guards gathered at Gardiner Public School in Georgetown South where they were treated to music, thank you speeches and a tasty picnic. This year included a special presentation to Maria Dias, a crossing guard who placed herself between a child and an oncoming SUV.
