All school buses across Simcoe County and Muskoka have been cancelled today, according to the Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium (SCSTC), as winter weather conditions made road travel unsafe.
The cancellation affects every transportation zone, including North, West, Central, South, and Muskoka, meaning no school buses will run for the entire day, including afternoon routes.
❌ Which Areas Are Impacted?

Red ❌ indicators across all zones confirm a county-wide shutdown of student transportation.
