Cold Weather Bus Policy
❄ Inclement Weather Bus Cancellations
• Buses are cancelled at –40°C (with or without wind chill)
• Bus cancellations due to inclement weather are determined for each community or area. This means buses may be cancelled in one location (e.g., Warburg) while still running in another (e.g., Beaumont), depending on local conditions
• Decisions are made to protect students from extreme cold or the risk of a bus breakdown
• Black Gold uses The Weather Channel to monitor temperatures across the Division
If buses are cancelled in the morning due to inclement weather, they will also be cancelled for the afternoon.
Inclement Weather Bus Cancellations are posted as close to 6:30 AM as possible on:
• Bus Status 4 app
• blackgold.ca
• Individual school websites
Schools remain open unless there is a facility emergency (e.g., a water main break).
🚨Always check blackgold.ca and the Bus Status 4 app before going to the bus stop!
