Schools in the Laurentides Open Despite Weather Challenges
On March 12, 2026, all schools in the commission scolaire des laurentides are open, with the exception of La Relève school in La Minerve, which is closed due to a power outage. The decision to keep most schools operational comes amid adverse weather conditions affecting transportation.
Transport scolaire may experience delays as freezing rain has created treacherous conditions on roads. Authorities have emphasized the importance of safety in educational settings, particularly in light of freezing rain warnings that have prompted school closures in the Outaouais region.
In addition to La Relève, certain addresses in Lanaudière have schools closed due to hazardous road conditions. As a result, parents and guardians are advised to remain vigilant regarding transportation updates.
The Centre de services scolaires des Laurentides, along with other local school boards, is monitoring the situation closely. They are working to ensure that students can safely reach their schools while prioritizing their well-being.
Freezing rain has not only impacted the Laurentides but has also affected transport scolaire in Ottawa and eastern Ontario, leading to widespread disruptions. The adverse weather conditions have raised concerns among parents and educators alike.
As the day progresses, the situation remains fluid, with authorities continuing to assess road safety and weather impacts. Observers are keenly watching how these conditions will affect school operations in the coming days.
Despite the challenges posed by the weather, the commission scolaire des laurentides remains committed to providing education while ensuring the safety of its students. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further closures or changes in transport services.
