If you're in Simcoe County today, you’re waking up to some major transportation disruptions. The Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium has officially announced that all school buses across the region are cancelled due to heavy snowfall and dangerous road conditions. That includes buses in North Simcoe (Elmvale, Midland, Penetanguishene, Orillia), West Simcoe (Collingwood, Stayner, Wasaga Beach), Central Simcoe (Barrie, Innisfil, Angus), and South Simcoe (Alliston, Beeton, Bradford, Cookstown, Tottenham) . In addition, buses are also cancelled in areas like Dundalk, Flesherton, Markdale, Thornbury, Meaford, and Maxwell.
But here’s the thing—schools themselves are still open for student learning. That means if you can safely make it to school by other means, you’re welcome to attend. However, with road conditions deteriorating due to intense snow squalls, it’s a good idea to check with your school or local transportation authorities before heading out.
This cancellation isn’t a surprise to many, as weather forecasts had been predicting a rough day for travel in central Ontario. The region has been hit hard by snowfall and high winds, creating whiteout conditions and making roads extremely treacherous. In fact, plows have been pulled off some roads due to low visibility and rapidly accumulating snow. When it gets this bad, it’s simply not safe for buses to be on the road.
For parents and students, this means making alternate plans. If you’re a parent who usually relies on school buses, you’ll have to decide whether to keep your child home or arrange another way to get them to school. If you’re a student, well... it’s not exactly a full snow day, but it’s a day without a long bus ride at least!
To stay updated on future cancellations or changes in transportation, you can check the Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium’s official website. And of course, always keep an eye on local weather reports before heading out. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the snow—if you don’t have to drive in it!
