UPDATE 6:05 am – November 07, 2022
All of our schools are open, but snow accumulations and blowing snow will dictate that some buses might be compromised today. In all of our other communities, we expect buses to run, but we anticipate that developing winter conditions might cause some to run late. Please do not leave children unattended at bus stops, and please ensure that they are dressed appropriately for the conditions.
Please read below for transportation updates specific to your community.
Even where we initially determine that rural buses can travel, individual bus drivers have the authority to cancel rural routes if they determine that local conditions may be unsafe. In the case that a rural route is cancelled, Southland Transportation will contact families. In-town stops will still be accommodated.
CTR will continue to monitor the road conditions throughout the day. Visit the “Bus Status” link in the top right corner of our website, at www.redeemer.ab.ca for up-to-date bus route information.
Students and staff driving to school should use extra caution and plan for additional travel time.
