From Behind the Wheel To The Easel: Meet Kelly MacLeod 👋

School bus drivers come from all walks of life, and Bancroft driver Kelly is the perfect example. The unique split-shift schedule gives Kelly the perfect opportunity to support her community on the road, while her incredible artwork spotlights that very same community on canvas.

An accomplished, self-taught acrylic artist, this stunning 6-foot painting beautifully highlights Kelly's talent for capturing the vivid scenery, shifting light, and forgotten beauty of the Valley.

Want to see more of Kelly's work? Follow her on Facebook at Lilac Lantern Tea Room Designs or on Instagram. You can also catch her on the Madawaska Valley Studio Tour, Summer and Fall this October 3 & 4, 2026. Details at www.madawaskastudiotour.com

Next time you see Kelly on her route, give her a wave and celebrate the amazing talents that drive our community forward! 🚌

School buses: not for all 'kids.' 🐐

Driver Doug L. and monitor Cameron P. know that when your route includes a hobby farm, sneaky 'passengers' will try to follow their favourite little humans right onto the bus.

Nice try, little one, but entry denied! 🚌
