Residents are being advised that all schools and student transportation are cancelled today, Tuesday (January 27) across Zones 1 through 4, covering Norfolk County, Haldimand County, Brant County, and the City of Brantford.
The decision comes as a result of extreme winter weather, including heavy snow, strong winds, and poor visibility, making travel unsafe for students and staff.
Student Transportation Services of Brant Haldimand Norfolk confirmed the cancellations just after 7 a.m., later than the usual 6:30 a.m. decision time, citing rapidly deteriorating road conditions and white-out conditions in the region.
Ride Norfolk will not be operating today as well due to inclement weather.
Secondary students with scheduled exams today will receive further instructions directly from their school principals regarding rescheduling or alternative arrangements.
Parents, guardians, and students are encouraged to check their local school boards’ websites and social media channels for updates throughout the day.
