Bus Safety Awareness Poster Exhibition

To increase awareness of Bus Safety Week, Sinton Transportation, in partnership with the MacLarenArtCentre, is hosting a student art exhibition that informs people about Bus Safety.

Posters by school children in Simcoe County will be on exhibition during Bus Safety Week, October 19 to 23, in the Bus Gallery parked outside of the MacLarenArtCentre on Collier Street.

To make the exhibition more accessible to the public, the Sinton Bus Gallery will be traveling to The Good Shepherd Catholic School to be viewed by students that submitted posters, staff and members of the public interested in viewing the exhibition.

THE TRAVELING GALLERY WILL BE AT THE GOOD SHEPHERD SCHOOL FROM 9:30 AM TO NOON ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, FOLLOWING WHICH IT WILL RETURN TO THE MACLAREN ART CENTRE FOR THE BUS SAFETY AWARENESS RECEPTION FROM 6 UNTIL 7:00 PM.
