Extreme cold forces school bus cancellations

Dec 12, 2024 | 6:22 AM

Most of the Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division (SRPSD) buses are cancelled today due to the cold weather.

Manager of transportation services for SRPSD, Ryan Bruce said only Meath Park and Big River buses are scheduled to run, though that may change with a weather update.

All buses with the Prince Albert Catholic School Division are cancelled.

Ecole Valois buses are not running today either.

Environment Canada said a cold, arctic air mass has settled in over parts of the province. Under this cold air mass, temperatures combined with northerly winds of 10 to 15 km/h will produce extreme wind chill values of minus 40 and colder. Temperatures will begin to moderate in Saskatchewan this afternoon, and the extreme cold will end.
