A local crosswalk guard is being recognized as one of the best in the country. Arnold Knickle from Bridgewater Elementary has been chosen as Canada's favourite crossing guard. He is one of only three crossing guards across Canada to win the award. Students across the nation wrote essays to explain who their favourite crosswalk guard is and why. Knickle says the award means a lot to him.
Knickle and BES both receive $500 awards. A trophy presentation will also be held for Knickle during a December 20 assembly at Bridgewater Elementary School.
