Below are the school bus cancellations and delays for both countries based on current morning reports.

🇨🇦 Canada: Regional Status

While a “Snow Day” forecast was in effect for much of Southern Ontario, most school boards in the GTA have remained open as snowfall totals stayed below the cancellation threshold. However, Atlantic Canada is still recovering from a recent Nor’easter.

Ontario

GTA (Toronto, York, Peel, Halton): Buses are RUNNING. Schools are open. No widespread cancellations were triggered by the overnight dusting of snow.
Durham Region: No zone-wide cancellations. However, Durham Student Transportation (DSTS) has reported approximately 15–20 individual bus delays due to road conditions.
Ottawa: Buses are RUNNING. OSTA reports 0 general cancellations, though individual route delays are possible.
Southwestern Ontario: Most districts are operational. Windsor-Essex and London-Middlesex buses are running normally.

Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia & New Brunswick)

Strait Regional Centre (SRCE): Closed. High school assessments originally scheduled for Monday have been moved to today, but some rural routes remain cancelled due to icy secondary roads.
Halifax (HRCE): Most schools are open, but some “Families of Schools” (rural areas like Musquodoboit) are still facing 2-hour delays for bus pickups to allow for road clearing.
