On March 12, 2026, all schools in the commission scolaire des laurentides are officially open, despite significant weather-related challenges. However, La Relève school in La Minerve remains closed due to a power outage, highlighting the impact of the recent freezing rain.

Transport scolaire in the region may experience delays as authorities monitor hazardous conditions caused by the weather. Freezing rain has created treacherous conditions on roads, prompting concerns for student safety during their commutes.

In addition to La Relève, certain addresses in the nearby Lanaudière region have also seen schools closed due to poor road conditions. The situation has led to a suspension of transport scolaire in the Laurentides, as safety remains the top priority for educational authorities.

Officials from the commission scolaire des laurentides and related school boards, including the Centre de services scolaires des Laurentides and the Centre de services scolaires de la Rivière-du-Nord, are working diligently to ensure that students can return to their classrooms safely.

In Ottawa and eastern Ontario, freezing rain has similarly affected transport scolaire, leading to widespread disruptions. Schools in the Outaouais region have also been closed due to the severe weather conditions.

As the situation develops, authorities continue to prioritize safety in educational settings amid freezing rain warnings. Observers are closely monitoring the weather, and updates will be provided as necessary.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the impact on all schools in the region, but the commitment to student safety remains unwavering.

The recent freezing rain has led to the cancellation of transport scolaire in Ottawa and eastern Ontario, significantly affecting students’ ability to attend school. The adverse weather conditions prompted local authorities to take precautionary measures to ensure safety.

In Ottawa, the Consortium de transport scolaire d’Ottawa announced that it would not be servicing communities on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. This decision was made in light of the hazardous conditions caused by the freezing rain, which resulted in the closure of schools in the Outaouais region.

While schools in the Outaouais were closed, institutions in Kingston and Trenton remained open despite the transport cancellations. This discrepancy highlights the varying impacts of the weather across different regions.

The cancellation of transport scolaire also affected schools under the Commission scolaire catholique de l’Est de l’Ontario (CECCE) and the Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO). Parents and students were notified of the changes, emphasizing the importance of safety during inclement weather.

In the Laurentides, the situation was similarly dire, with both primary and secondary schools, along with daycare services, being closed due to the freezing rain. The Centre de services scolaires de la Rivière-du-Nord confirmed these closures as part of their response to the weather conditions.

Environment Canada issued an orange warning for freezing rain, indicating the severity of the situation and the potential for hazardous travel conditions. This warning served as a crucial factor in the decisions made by school boards and transport authorities.

As the freezing rain continues to impact the region, the focus remains on ensuring the safety of students and staff. The transport cancellations are a direct response to the forecasts and the safety concerns they raise.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the duration of these cancellations and whether further closures will be necessary in the coming days. Authorities are closely monitoring the weather and will provide updates as the situation evolves.
