SD&G – Students who take the school bus in Cornwall and SD&G will be getting an extra long Family Day weekend.
A wintry mix of freezing rain and ice pellets has resulted in the cancellation of all school buses across SD&G today (Friday).
Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) and the French transportation consortium have both cancelled all buses.
The schools remain open for those who can get to school.
The Upper Canada District School Board says extracurricular activities, field trips and community use of schools is also cancelled.
A freezing rain warning remains in effect with ice pellets and freezing rain changing over to snow later today with up to 5 centimeters (2 inches) of snow and ice pellets.
This is the eighth time this season buses have been cancelled due to the weather. The last time buses were cancelled was for two consecutive days on Feb. 9 and Feb. 10.
