Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. 

SJB is proud to offer bussing service for our families.  This service is geared to accommodate families needing transportation from Chilliwack, Langley, Aldergrove, Mission, Abbotsford, and Surrey.  Space permitting, we extend our bussing service to students at the neighbouring elementary school (St. James and St. Ann’s).

We run 6 buses per day and offer AM and/or PM services plus ‘occasional bus rider’ tickets for purchase at the school office.  

Bus routes vary slightly year on year to best serve our community, however, we are able to provide general stop locations on request.  Should you wish to learn more about our routes or bus fees please contact Mrs. Donegan at [email protected].
