What Happened
On February 25, 2026, severe weather conditions, including overnight snowfall, resulted in the cancellation of all school bus services across several regions in Ontario, including Hastings County, Prince Edward County, Lennox and Addington, and Kingston. Tri-Board Transportation, STSCO, and Mohawk Bus Lines announced the cancellations due to unsafe road conditions.
Why It Matters
This situation marks a significant disruption for families, as schools remain open but students relying on bus transportation are unable to attend. The ongoing weather-related cancellations have raised concerns about the frequency of such events, with reports suggesting that this academic year may see a record number of bus cancellations over the past decade.
What’s Next
Parents are advised to make alternative arrangements for their children, as schools will continue to operate despite the lack of bus services. The Tri-Board Student Transportation Services has provided resources for families to stay updated on weather-related cancellations, emphasizing the importance of safety during adverse weather conditions.
