JUST STOP!
In Ontario, the fine for passing a school bus with it’s stop sign and red lights activated is $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points for a first offence. Each following offence is $1,000 to $4,000, and six demerit points. More importantly, school buses carry our future. Please watch for students!
What to do in EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES
Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather when riding the bus and waiting at the bus stop.
When the temperature reaches –35° C (not including wind chill) as reported by Environment Canada at 6:00 a.m. school buses will be cancelled. When buses are cancelled in the morning due to extreme cold, they may run in the afternoon if forecasted temperatures allow.
In the event of cancellations email and parent portal app alerts will be sent to subscribers and the bus status on www.nwobus.ca will be updated. Schools usually remain open in periods of extreme cold.
