Our Crosswalkhttp://wil.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/14Our Crosswalk<p>​<span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:calibri, sans-serif;">Many of our parents use the Lennox Park parking lot on the south side of Big Bay Point Road and then access the school via the crosswalk. We have been asked by the police to remind parents that <strong style="text-decoration:underline;">it is illegal to make a left turn</strong> out of the parking lot when the crosswalk lights are red and/or <strong style="text-decoration:underline;">if there is anyone</strong> <strong style="text-decoration:underline;">on any part</strong> of the crosswalk. Thank you for being extra vigilant whenever you park or drive around the school.</span></p>
