MYTH OR FACT? 🚌

You only need to stop for a school bus if you’re driving behind it.

MYTH!

With students heading back to school soon, it’s a good time for a quick refresher on sharing the road with school buses.

🟡 Amber lights? Slow down and prepare to stop.

🔴 Red lights or stop arm activated? Stop and give students plenty of space (at least 20 metres) to safely get on, off and cross the road.

On roads without a median, traffic in both directions must stop. On divided roads with a median, only vehicles travelling in the same direction as the bus are required to stop.

A little extra patience and attention can go a long way in helping protect the students, families and neighbours who make up our communities.

School’s almost back — let’s help everyone get there safely.

Can you spot the risks? 👀 Summer is made for time outside, and a quick safety check can help keep it that way. ☀️

Take a look at the deck and see how many potential risks you can find before swiping to reveal the answers.

Some hazards are easy to miss at first glance, but catching the little things early can help prevent bigger problems later.

🥤⛳ Keeping it cool on and off the course!

We’re excited to have Kent & Essex Mutual joining the 2026 CK Charity Classic as a Prize Sponsor!

This year, they’re helping our golfers stay refreshed with an awesome Toadfish Universal Can Cooler—the perfect prize for enjoying a cold drink after a great round (or recovering from that tricky hole you’d rather forget 😉).

We’re incredibly grateful for Kent & Essex Mutual’s support and their commitment to giving back to the Chatham-Kent community. Partners like them help make the CK Charity Classic such a memorable event while allowing us to continue supporting local charities and projects that make a meaningful impact right here at home.

Thank you, Kent & Essex Mutual, for keeping things cool, supporting our tournament, and helping make this year’s CK Charity Classic a refreshing success! 💙⛳
