NWO Bus

Just a reminder, please have your children at their bus stop 5-10 minutes early to ensure you are on time for the bus.

The Consortium requires at least 24 hours to safely implement your transportation request.  For families wishing to register students for the bus please fill out the Transportation Request Form under the Forms tab or call our office at 223-1256/866-860-7770 ext 1.

Welcome to the Northwestern Ontario Student Services Consortium for school bus transportation.  The Consortium is comprised of four (4) District School Boards, including Kenora Catholic, Keewatin-Patricia, Northwest Catholic and Conseil Scolaire de District Catholique Aurores boreales.   Transportation is also provided for numerous First Nation communities.  NWOSSC covers an area neighbouring Upsala in the east, the Manitoba border in the west, Red Lake, Sioux Lookout and Pickle Lake in the north, and Sioux Narrows in the south. This involves approximately 80,000km² and includes the communities of Kenora, Vermilion Bay, Ear Falls, Dryden and Ignace as well as the other areas mentioned. 

 The Education Act allows school boards to provide transportation for students under certain conditions. All Transportation is provided at the discretion of the Consortium, it is a privilege, not a right and must meet the requirements of each school board’s policy and procedures. Transportation will be provided in the safest, most efficient, practical and economical way. Our goal is to ensure students arrive safely on time and ready to learn.

We invite students and all stakeholders in the education community to co-operate with us in obtaining the common goal of a safe transportation system.

Thank you.
