Traffic Safety & Parking

This is a friendly reminder that there is absolutely NO PARKING in the circular driveways at Owen PS. The front loop is for quick drop off and the back driveway is for buses only. Thanks to our amazing volunteers who keep our children safe each morning! The safety of Owen students is our first priority. 

ONLINE REPORTING

https://www.torontopolice.on.ca/core/driving_complaint.php

If we have a license plate and/or description of the driver we can lay charges for moving violations, if the complainant is willing to go to court and can identify the driver.

If the complainant is not willing to go to court, we will send a letter to the registered owner about traffic safety.
