On March 4, 2026, the Public Schools Branch cancelled all classes for schools in the Montague area of Three Rivers, Prince Edward Island. The decision was made early in the morning due to adverse weather and hazardous travel conditions that made driving unsafe for buses and families.
The cancellation affects every school within the Montague family, which is the group of schools serving the local Three Rivers community. According to the Public Schools Branch, the move was necessary to ensure the safety of students and staff as winter weather impacted the region.
Local residents were advised to stay informed through official channels and reports from the Storm Centre to track any further updates. This closure is part of the standard safety process used by provincial school officials when road conditions are not suitable for travel.
The Public Schools Branch manages the daily operations of English-language schools across the province and monitors weather reports to decide on delays or closures. Students and parents in the Montague area are encouraged to check for updates regarding the status of school operations for the following day.
