First Student Canada 220006-220686, 225276 were 2006 model IC RE300 buses. These units featured tall tinted windows, air brakes, rear mounted stop sign, driver-side emergency exit door, internal speaker/PA system, and a unique "lopsided" seating arrangement in which all left-side seats seated 3 children, and all right-side seats seated 2 children.

These units began their lives in California in 2005, operating for Laidlaw Transportation. Following that company's acquisition by First Student, all units were transitioned into its large fleet throughout the state. In December 2016, the units arrived in Calgary, where they were utilized for regular school service until their retirement.
