Board Members

Norm Collins

President and Treasurer

Norm became involved with crosswalk safety in 2008 after the tragic deaths of two teenagers in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  Wanting to 'do something' to improve crosswalk safety in his neighbourhood he suggested a pilot crosswalk flag program.  The success and evolution of that initiative has resulted in the registration of the Society as a not-for-profit organization in Nova Scotia.

Norm continues to co-ordinate the crosswalk flag program in Halifax Regional Municipality and beyond.
