From CTV News, Oct 6, 2025, Ontario school boards urge Ford to halt plan to scrap speed cameras.
Ontario’s school boards are jointly urging the provincial government not to proceed with Premier Doug Ford’s plan to get rid of speed cameras.
A statement Monday from the province’s four publicly funded school board associations is just the latest in a series of groups supporting the automated enforcement tools, including municipalities, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police and research from the Hospital for Sick Children.
“When it comes to protecting children in school safety zones, we must take every possible precaution,” reads a statement from the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, as well as Catholic and French organizations.
“Slowing drivers down around schools reduces the risk of tragedy and keeps students and their families safer.”
