With the school year ending, expect more children outside. Drivers, follow traffic rules and give way to pedestrians. Endangering children can mean serious penalties, including jail time. @ONtransport

The more you read to children, the more they learn. Reading to your toddler every day can help them develop their imagination & language skills. Walk to your local library, a wonderful free resource, and dive into a new world of reading with your kids! 📖
