- Parents, if you are driving please park your car in the visitor parking area of the Harbour Square Buildings just over the hill from where you meet your children. This is a courtesy so please only park for pick up and drop off. Pedestrian and motor vehicles are not allowed along the lane to the east of the docks.

Our Kindergarten students, and Grade 1-6 students will arrive in the city at approximately 4:00 p.m.
In the Winter, there is only one ferry operating. Please be on time to meet your children when the boat docks. Young children become very anxious if they cannot see their parents, especially with so many tourists disembarking from the ferry. The ferry dock staff has asked me to remind parents that they are not to board the ferry with their children in the morning. We have student travel safety assistant on the boat/bus who will supervise and accompany your children during their commute.

City-side Students are supervised by Student Travel Safety Assistants until 4:15 p.m.
