Unsafe road conditions have led to the cancellation of school transportation services in Sudbury, Espanola, and Manitoulin. Poor weather, including deep slush and freezing rain, has made travel hazardous for students.
Transport cancellations due to weather
On Wednesday morning, the Sudbury Student Services Consortium announced the suspension of all school transportation services. This decision affects multiple school boards:
- English Catholic Schools
- English Public Schools
- French Catholic Schools
- French Public Schools
Despite the transportation cancellations, all schools will remain open. Parents are advised to make arrangements for their children’s pick-up at the end of the school day.
Impact of freezing conditions
With temperatures expected to drop significantly, the road safety situation remains precarious. The weather forecast indicates ongoing challenges for travel across the affected regions, including:
- Sudbury
- Espanola
- Massey
- Manitoulin
Parents are encouraged to stay informed and prioritize safety when considering travel conditions for their children.
