Pumpkin Patrol

Posted October 30, 2018

The 2018 Pumpkin Patrol is back on our streets!

Once again this year, the Pumpkin Patrol will be patrolling your school and community on the evenings of Tuesday, 30th Oct and Wednesday, 31 Oct. During these two nights, the Pumpkin Patrol will randomly visit facilities of the WRDSB and be a watchful eye for any problems that may occur while children are out ‘trick-or-treating’.

We have experienced a reduction in vandalism at our Board facilities as a result of this program. It acts as a deterrent in decreasing the amount of activities and damage to schools to ensure increased safety for school children who are out during those evenings.
