An Ottawa school bus driver has been fired after she left a busload of children in a Walmart parking lot while she went inside the store. OSTA general manager Vicky Kyriaco says the driver was fired for failing to follow proper procedure. Kyriaco said it appears the driver was experiencing some sort of "emergency," but the precise reason for the stop isn't clear. In it, Begbie quotes a letter he received from OSTA:"Some students have reported that their bus driver parked their bus at a Walmart before completing her run, yesterday. According to these students, the driver left students unattended on the bus for a period of approximately 20 minutes.
