Mayor's Message
On behalf of King Township Council, welcome to the September edition of the King Bulletin.
I’d like to remind everyone that school is about to start a new year and we all need to take extra care on our roads. Many children will be walking and biking—especially near school and residential areas—in the days ahead.
Don’t rush through stop signs or traffic lights, stop for busses when their lights are flashing and, if you have school-age children, teach them about crossing streets safely and how to obey street signs and signals. It’s up to all of us working together to keep our children safe.
