My 1st Ride Program

“My 1st Ride” is a school bus orientation program for first time riders. This program is offered free of charge to Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School Division students.

There will be an animated video, a slide show and a short ride on a school bus. After the bus ride, everyone is invited back into the school to pick up handouts and have a snack. Staff from both of the School Boards as well as Southland Transportation and First Student bus companies will be available for questions and information.

The program will take approximately 1 – 1 ½ hours.
