Chapleau Town Council is backing the idea of stop-arm cameras on school buses.
Mayor Michael Levesque explains the concept was brought to Council by a local grandmother - and other family members - after a recent incident.
Mayor Levesque says the family noted Timmins has cameras on school buses - to watch the roads, and possibly capture details of vehicles illegally passing the buses.
He also notes Ontario Provincial Police had charged a Chapleau resident in connection to the January 24th incident, but issued a correction days later.
Superior East OPP had initially charged a 30-year-old man with "fail to stop for school bus - owner" - as the owner of a vehicle can also be held responsible - though they have since charged an 18-year-old male with "fail to stop for school bus - meeting", as they received new information days after announcing the original arrest.
Though Council's come out in favour of the cameras, it isn't requiring them or taking steps to have them installed - instead, Mayor Levesque says a copy of the resolution will be sent to local bus companies, in the hope they'll consider the idea.
