Pumpkin Patrol Volunteers
For several nights ahead of Hallowe’en and again on Hallowe’en night many of our Facility Services Department staff volunteer to help keep our schools and streets a little safer. These employees, driving fully equipped Board vehicles, work closely with Regional Police patrolling school properties and responding to calls from night custodians who need assistance. Sometimes assistance is needed in dispersing groups of young people on school property before they get into trouble. Other times they are needed to do temporary repairs on broken windows and remove any graffiti that might appear.
The Waterloo Region District School Board is very proud of these volunteers for helping to prevent vandalism in our schools and for helping to ensure the safety of children in our community.
