Dear Aubrey Families,
I’m writing to share some important information with you regarding the use of electric scooters in Burnaby. You may not be aware that there are strict limitations on their use, and especially so for children and youth.
Across the province, e-scooters may only be used on designated roads in communities participating in BC’s electric kick scooter pilot project. Burnaby is not a participating municipality, which means you cannot ride an e-scooter on public roads. For those communities that are part of the pilot, children must be at least 16 years old. As Burnaby is not part of the pilot, there are no designated roads and pathways for people of any age.
Please be aware that, given the above, your child should not be riding an e-scooter to school or storing their e-scooter at school.
More information about provincial rules and safety related to e-scooters can be found on ICBC’s website here and on the Government of BC’s website here.
Thank you for your help in keeping our school community safe. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Liliane de Oliveira
