School bus charters will not operate when home to school bus service is cancelled.

Please note the following:

¨ A decision to cancel school bus service will be region-wide meaning all school buses, vans and taxis will not operate.

¨ Unless otherwise stated, schools will remain open and parents can make arrangements to transport their children to and from school even if school bus service is cancelled.  If buses are cancelled in the morning, they will not operate in the afternoon.  Therefore students transported to school by parents will require the same transportation home.
