Change in Action

In 2021, the Sooke School District became the first in B.C. to use an electric school bus. Electric school buses have many advantages compared to diesel school buses, including the cost of electricity compared to fuel and fewer moving mechanical parts, which means they require fewer repairs and less maintenance.
