Due to the continued extreme cold temperatures and high wind chills forecasted, all school bus runs for the Hazelton and Kitwanga areas will be cancelled on Thursday, Jan. 16.
This was the second day in a row the bus was cancelled due to the weather.
The decision was made out of concern for the safety of students waiting for buses in the extreme cold weather and high wind chills, states Janet Meyer, acting superintendent of schools for Coast Mountains School District 82, in an email.
