School Buses Cancelled this morning

Some students will get a chance to sleep in this morning.

The Northwestern Ontario Services Consortium has announced that it is cancelling school bus service for the Kenora, Sioux Narrows, Red Lake and Ear Falls areas.

Rat Portage also says its school buses will not be running today.

Local schools will remain open however, for kids who walk or who get dropped off by their parents.

Last night, road conditions in the Kenora area got so bad, the OPP closed down the Kenora By-Pass for just over an hour, due to a number of accidents between the Jones Road and the Redditt Road intersections.

Highway 17-A was re-opened around 10:30 last night.
