August 25, 2026 at Lumen Christi Catholic Education Centre (9405 50 Street NW)

Time: 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM

Whether your child is new to riding the yellow school bus, transitioning to Edmonton Transit Service (ETS), or in need of a refresher, this free event helps families become familiar with riding the bus before the start of the new school year.  At First Riders, you and your child will have the opportunity to build confidence and gain important safety knowledge through outdoor safety stations, bus navigation tips, and a Q&A opportunity. You will accompany your child throughout the event, which will conclude with an actual ride on a school bus. The entire session will last approximately 45 minutes.
