Activity Buses
As a carrier, Christ the Redeemer Catholic School Division has 7 activity buses in its fleet with a commercial school bus designation for the purpose of transporting passengers, and each bus has the capacity to hold 24 passengers.
A Multifunction School Activity Bus (MFSAB) is a non-yellow bus built to school bus construction safety standards. They do not have alternating flashing warning lamps, stop arm, crossing arm, school bus sign, or colour requirements for a school bus (i.e. not meant for making on-highway stops or conducting regular school bus routes), and are considered a commercial vehicle.
