Abbotsford man named one of Canada’s favourite crossing guards

For a quarter of a century, Abbotsford’s Pat McDermott has been helping kids make it to and from school safely, and now he’s being celebrated for it.
Every year, Parachute, the national charity dedicated to injury prevention, has hosted a contest to determine Canada’s favourite crossing guards.
More than 800 nominations for a total of 126 crossing guards from five provinces were submitted in this year’s contest, which is the most submissions the contest has ever received.
