Bus Cancellations Today: School Closures & Transportation Updates
Bad weather is causing widespread school bus cancellations and closures across several regions today, April 3rd, 2025. Icy conditions and heavy snowfall have made many roads impassable, leaving thousands of students without transportation. This article provides updates on affected areas and offers advice for parents and students.
Thunder Bay, Ontario
In Thunder Bay, Ontario, all school buses are cancelled due to poor weather and road conditions. This impacts both city and rural routes. While inner-city schools remain open, all rural public schools are closed, including Crestview PS, Five Mile PS, and several others. This marks the second consecutive day of closures for rural schools in the Lakehead District School Board. Environment Canada's winter storm warning remains in effect. Thunder Bay Transit is also experiencing potential delays.
Other Affected Regions
Beyond Thunder Bay, cancellations are widespread. Wellington-Dufferin Student Transportation Services have cancelled buses in Divisions 3 and 4 (North Wellington and Dufferin County). Similarly, Nipissing-Parry Sound Student Transportation Services cancelled buses in the Redbridge/Thorne corridor. In Simcoe County, some school buses are cancelled in the North and Central zones due to school closures. Finally, Algoma and Huron-Superior Student Transportation Services have cancelled all school transportation in Sault Ste. Marie, Central Algoma, and surrounding areas. Schools remain open in these areas, but students must find alternate transportation.
Important Reminders
Remember, if your bus route is cancelled, it will not be running in the afternoon. Students who were dropped off at school by other means must be picked up at the end of the school day. Always check with your local school board or student transportation services for the most up-to-date information regarding closures and cancellations. Stay safe and check local news and weather reports for continued updates.
