Wednesday is the last day of school for many Estevan students but schoolyard safety is still a summertime priority.

"We know that schoolyards, playgrounds and parks are still busy places for active children of all ages," said Christine Niemczyk, director of communications with CAA Saskatchewan. "We ask motorists to please drive with caution, reduce your speed, observe the posted speed limit and regulated days and hours that those speed limits are in effect."

She encouraged youth to take safety into their own hands by avoiding running out into traffic or between parked cars and to be aware of their surroundings, looking up from their phones while walking.
