## Caption

We hope all the students are having a great first week back!

The walk to school today probably looks a little different than it did for these kids in Wexford in 1947 along a dirt road that may be Pharmacy or Victoria Park Avenue. The news was reporting on parent concerns for students' safety on their long walk to school without sidewalks or school bus provision. 

Wexford, kids walking to school, September 9, 1947.
Globe and Mail Fonds 1266, Item 118555
