Some students in rural areas of the Horizon School Division had to find alternative transportation to classes on Monday.

The extreme cold led to some bus cancellations, as temperatures dipped into the -40's with the wind chill.

A few buses were cancelled in Lanigan, Imperial, Nokomis, Quill Lake, and Raymore, while full cancellations occurred in the Archerwill and Rose Valley area.

The North East School Division nixed morning service for all buses in Naicam, while Colonsay did not see service in the Prairie Spirit School Division either.

Most buses are expected to run for the afternoon.
