Quebec's public system is local. French-language centres de services scolaires and English school boards close their own schools and cancel their own student transportation. There is no single Montreal-and-Quebec-City switch that covers every school in the province, and a planned pedagogical day is not a weather closure.
Montreal gets a full winter of snow and ice without the extreme cold of the Prairies. Quebec City is snowier and colder, and the predictor treats it as more accustomed to heavy snow. A storm that looks dramatic in Vancouver can be an ordinary Wednesday in Quebec City. Ice, not the daily snow total, is often what makes stairs, hills, and bus yards unsafe.
Look for the words fermeture des écoles and annulation du transport scolaire on the service centre or board site. Those are the announcements that count. This site's score is only a planning figure for the night before.

Questions parents ask
Is a journée pédagogique a snow day?
No. A pedagogical day is on the school calendar in advance. A weather closure is an unplanned shutdown or a transportation cancellation. The two get mixed up in family group chats every winter.
Which site should Montreal families check?
Use the centre de services scolaire or the English board that actually runs your child's school. The city page links the Centre de services scolaire de Montréal and the English Montreal School Board as starting points, not as a complete list.
