The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board serves Hamilton. The forecast uses the city's typical snow tolerance and the urban route setting. The escarpment and the rural edges are the reason to try the rural setting and to read the freezing-rain line. We do not split the Mountain into its own score.
Hamilton-Wentworth Student Transportation Services says it was formed by the Catholic and public boards in Hamilton-Wentworth. The public board's closure and the consortium's bus decision can differ. Read both on a messy morning.
Transportation
Hamilton-Wentworth Student Transportation Services
HWSTS's site describes the consortium as the joint transportation service of the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board and the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. Status for delays and cancellations belongs on that site.

Does HWDSB include Burlington?
Burlington is Halton. Hamilton-Wentworth is Hamilton. The boards and the bus sites are different. Use the Halton page if the school is in Halton.
Are Catholic schools on this page?
They share HWSTS and they are a separate board. This page is the public board. Confirm a Catholic closure on the Catholic board's site.
