🔦 VALLEY SPOTLIGHT 🔦

This week, we're proud to shine the Valley Spotlight on Mike Sauve from our Pembroke division!

For the past 15 years, Mike has been a dedicated member of the Valley Transportation team, serving as both a driver and a certified trainer. His professionalism, patience, and commitment to helping others succeed make him a valued mentor and an important part of our team.

Throughout his time at Valley, Mike has built lasting friendships with fellow drivers and staff while sharing his knowledge and experience with the next generation of school bus professionals.

When asked about his journey with Valley, Mike shared:

"The time I've spent here at Valley has been an interesting and rewarding experience. After 15 years of school bus driving, I've learned a lot about patience, which now, as a certified trainer, I get to put to full effect. I've also formed bonds with fellow staff and drivers that will always be cherished."

Mike, thank you for your dedication, leadership, and the positive impact you continue to make every day. We're grateful to have you on the Valley Transportation team and look forward to many more years ahead.

💛 Congratulations Mike!

One last ride. One more wave goodbye.

Every school year is made up of thousands of moments - first-day nerves, big smiles, sleepy mornings, exciting stories after school and friendships that grow one bus ride at a time.

To our drivers and staff, thank you for being a familiar face and a trusted part of your communities throughout the Ottawa Valley for another successful year.

To all the students heading into summer - we hope it's your best one yet. We'll be ready when it's time for the next adventure this September.

Happy Summer!

As March wraps up, we’re excited to look ahead to a special achievement!

Brad T. from our very own Valley team graduated from the Professional Instructor in Driver Education ( P.R.I.D.E. ) Program, becoming a certified driver trainer. The PRIDE program helps experienced drivers share their knowledge and guide new drivers as they begin their journey behind the wheel.

Brad’s dedication to safety and mentorship will help support the next generation of school bus drivers serving students and families across the Ottawa Valley.

School buses are part of the fabric of our communities and the women of Valley Transportation help make those connections meaningful every day.

From friendly morning greetings at the bus stop to supporting families and schools behind the scenes, women across our team help create safe, welcoming experiences for students throughout our communities.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women whose dedication and care help strengthen the relationships that make student transportation so important. Thank you for the role you play in the communities we proudly serve. 💜

🌅 A sign that spring is around the corner!

This weekend we set our clocks ahead for Daylight Saving Time. It’s a small change that brings brighter evenings and a reminder that warmer days are on the way.

For families and drivers alike, the time change can take a day or two to adjust to. As mornings begin a little differently this week, we encourage everyone on the road to stay mindful of school buses and students travelling to their stops.

The safety of the students we serve is always our top priority. Thank you to our dedicated drivers and to everyone in our communities who helps keep our roads safe.
