A bus is cancelled in a weather zone if it serves a school or has a bus stop located in the weather zone. Buses may be cancelled in other zones based on local conditions. Schools will remain open however any students driven to school by parents/guardians will need to be picked up at the end of the day.For a complete list of bus cancellations and delays visit: <a href="https://triboard.mybusplanner.ca/Alerts" target="_blank" title="https://triboard.mybusplanner.ca/Alerts" class="editor-link">https://triboard.mybusplanner.ca/Alerts</a> You can find out more about weather related cancellations at: <a href="https://triboard.ca/snowdays/" target="_blank" title="https://triboard.ca/snowdays/" class="editor-link">https://triboard.ca/snowdays/</a><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"> </h3><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr">IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT STAFF PARKING LOT</h2><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr">This is a very important message to all of our community members.
