A group of concerned parents invited decision makers within the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) to experience firsthand what a walk to school is like for children impacted by the CBE’s controversial congregated bus stop system.

The Calgary Board of Education says it's changing its congregated bus stop system so that no elementary student will walk farther than 1.6 km and no junior high school student will walk farther than 1.8 km to catch the bus.

Alberta's education minister is now involved in the congregated bus system controversy after the Calgary Association of Parents and School Councils (CAPSC) launched a petition against the new system.
