“School bus drivers play an integral role in our education system, safely and efficiently transporting more than 335,000 Alberta students to and from school every day. In recognition of these everyday heroes, I am pleased to proclaim the first Monday of May as School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in Alberta, every year.
“Alberta’s school bus drivers are responsible for more than just transportation – they are the first friendly face a student sees each morning and the steady hand that brings them home each afternoon.
“School Bus Driver Appreciation Day is an opportunity for all Albertans to recognize the hard work, professionalism and care with which drivers do their job.
“Thank you to Alberta’s school bus drivers for everything you do.”
