During last nights council meeting, council members passed the third and final reading of the amended school zone speed limit by-law with a vote of 6-3.

The new speed limit will see Thompson Drive near RD Parker at 50 km/hr at all times now. All other school zones will be 30 km/hr from 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday, September to June.

The change is not welcome by all. Students, parents, and school trustee members have spoken out against the amendment.

In the coming days, speed limit signs will be changed in the school zones to reflect the new speed limits.
