Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

School District 28 provides bus routes and schedules and notes that bus stop times are approximate; families are asked to be at the stop 5–10 minutes early. To register a child for busing, families must complete a School Bus Registration form and submit it to the school secretary or email it to transportation@sd28.bc.ca; families are told to contact the transportation department due to limited seats and daily attendance.
