Safety improvements coming to Ruth King School and on Goldstream by Spencer School. Ruth King is one of our hardest working schools in the city centre with lots of traffic, and the missing section of sidewalk by Spencer is a gap that will be improved this summer. #saferoutestoschool #cityoflangford
