Weather conditions across the region are impacting both school operations and student transportation today.
Tri-Board Student Transportation Services has issued multiple weather-related updates for Monday, January 19, 2026, including confirmed school closures and widespread bus cancellations across several Tri-Board transportation zones.
With winter weather affecting road conditions in many communities, families are encouraged to plan accordingly this morning, and to continue monitoring updates as conditions and decisions can change quickly.

The Tri-Board reports that all buses are cancelled in the following zones:
