Winter storm leads to eastern Ontario school bus cancellations on Tuesday
An eastern Ontario snow storm led to man school bus cancellations across the province. Many of Kingston's school buses were cancelled early Tuesday morning because of the snow – Jan 29, 2019

Mother Nature’s latest blast of winter has prompted school bus cancellations for portions of Eastern Ontario, including the Kingston region.

According to the latest information from Tri-Board, which coordinates busing for three school boards in the area, due to current road conditions and forecasted snow and squall activity, buses have been cancelled all day in Kingston, Frontenac, Prince Edward and Lennox and Addington Counties. However, buses are running in Hastings County.

This is the fourth day in the last two weeks that Tri-Board has cancelled school buses in the region for the school boards they serve.
