Dear Keating Elementary,

We are excited to announce that registrations for the 2025-2026 Walking School Bus are now open at your school! 

Please fill out the following survey to start the registration process for your child(ren):

The walking route and schedule is available online here:

The exact start date for the next school year is still to be determined, but is usually within the first few weeks of school in September. Once you complete the registration survey, we will be in touch closer to the launch date! 

Please note: Completing the registration survey doesn’t guarantee your child(ren) a spot on the WSB - This is a community program that relies on weekly parent/guardian volunteer support to run at capacity. Once the registration survey is complete, we will reach out with forms to complete your child(ren)’s file and will let you know if your child(ren) have either been waitlisted or accepted into the program. We do our best to accommodate as many participants as possible while maintaining a safe ratio for our Walk Leader.  

We are super excited to start this route - wishing you all a great Summer Break, and see you again in September! 

All the best,

Emma Barrett

WSB Regional Coordinator - Vancouver Island
