We are excited to welcome our students back for the 2026–27 school year on Mon., Aug. 31!

Please drive carefully when approaching school buses. Buses create significant blind spots. City of Camrose buses are not permitted to extend stop signs or use flashing lights. Even when bus lights are not flashing, children are likely nearby school buses, so please drive with extreme caution.

A Message from the Mayor and Council of the Village of Hay Lakes:

The Village of Hay Lakes wants to be unequivocally clear: bullying, harassment, intimidation, threats, and abusive behaviour toward our staff will not be tolerated.

Our staff come to work every day to serve our community, and they deserve to do so in an environment where they feel safe, respected, and supported. No employee should be expected to endure verbal abuse, intimidation, personal attacks, or harassment as part of their job.

We are deeply saddened that we have been placed in a position where we must publicly address this matter. However, our first responsibility is to our staff, and we will stand firmly behind them.

The Village is taking steps to strengthen our policies, procedures, and expectations surrounding respectful conduct. We will continue to improve these measures to ensure our employees have the support and protection they deserve.

Further information regarding these changes will be communicated in the coming days.

We welcome respectful questions, concerns, and disagreement. What we will not accept is abuse, bullying, intimidation, or harassment of our staff.

Our employees deserve better, and the Village of Hay Lakes is committed to ensuring they receive it.

— Mayor and Council
