One of Winnipeg's school crossing guards has taken to Facebook to publicly shame drivers who are reckless in crossing zones.

The name of the group is "Crossing Guards Wall of Shame" and the page's creator, Cecile Desjarlais, plans to post the licence plate numbers of drivers responsible for the near misses and close calls she sees too often on the job.

Desjarlais created the page Monday after a particularly rough shift, where three cars drove past her while she stood in the middle of the street with her flag up in her outstretched arm. Her concern was not only for her own personal safety but also for the kids crossing the street.

This is also not an isolated incident she said, two weeks ago a car drove past her at such a proximity that it knocked her flag right out of her hand.

"It will trigger something in their mind, 'hey maybe I should be paying a little more attention to what I'm doing out there everyday,'" Desjarlais told CBC's Information Radio.

For now, Desjarlais is the only guard posting to the page but she hopes to attract posts from her colleagues. Only one licence plate number is displayed on the site for the time being.

Desjarlais said she has spoken with police, she plans to report all licence plates to them as well as posting them to the Facebook page. She said the police advised they would start with a warning but it could escalate to fines of $200 to $250.
