Frigid start to Monday may cause school bus delays

The Calgary Board of Education is warning parents and guardians of the possibility of weather related delays with Southland and First Student bus service on Monday

Parents are asked to dress their children appropriately for the weather and to accompany their children until their bus arrives, as the extreme cold may lead to significant delays. Roads are expected to be congested and slick.

Workers at Southland and First Student have been taking preemptive measures to ensure their buses will be operational on Monday, but this weekend’s weather has caused freezing in some of the fleet's diesel fueled buses.

All CBE schools will be open on Monday so students have access to a warm and secure environment.
