On Monday, January 26, 2026, the Trillium Lakelands District School Board suspended school bus transportation in Zones 4 and 5 (including Bracebridge) because of poor road conditions. The TLDSB announced that buses are not operating in Zones 4 and 5, though schools remain open for students who can safely get there on their own.
High school students at Bracebridge and Muskoka Lakes Secondary School (BMLSS) will have their semester exams moved forward by one school day — any exam scheduled for Monday, Jan. 26 will be written Tuesday, Jan. 27, and the rest of the exam week will shift forward accordingly, per TLDSB guidance.
The service suspension affects local schools such as Bracebridge Public School, which remains open and where learning opportunities will continue for students who can safely attend in person. Families can check whether their home address is in a cancelled-bus area using the MyBusToSchool Eligibility tool (https://www.mybustoschool.ca/Eligibility) or by visiting the TLDSB Transportation Information page (https://www.tldsb.ca/transportation-information/).
Parents who decide to send their children to school today must provide their own transportation for both drop-off and pick-up. Real-time updates for bus routes and status are available at MyBusToSchool (https://www.mybustoschool.ca/).
