Bus Transportation in Cold Weather

Bus Transportation in Cold Weather

During extreme cold conditions, buses cannot operate safely. If the Environment Canada weather station at the airport indicates a wind chill of -45 or below, or an air temperature of –45°C or below at 6:00 a.m, the superintendent will cancel school bus transportation and communicate his decision to the media. Schools will remain open, however. Divisional policy EEAEEA provides full details related to bus transportation in cold weather.

To find out if buses are cancelled, you can listen to a local radio station such as CJOB 680 AM or CBC 990 AM or 89.3 FM or check our divisional website.

Please remember that if buses are cancelled in the morning, they are also cancelled in the afternoon. If you drop your child off at school, kindly make arrangements to pick them up at dismissal time, 3:20 p.m. If someone else will be picking them, please notify the school office or send a note in your child's agenda. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
