The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board serves public English schools in the City of Ottawa. The forecast on this page uses Ottawa's profile: typical snow tolerance and high cold sensitivity. That cold setting is a property of the city in our model, not a rule the board published as a formula.

Ottawa Student Transportation Authority's site addresses families in the OCDSB and the Ottawa Catholic School Board. School-bus status and OC Transpo status are different questions. This score is about school closure and school buses.

Transportation

Ottawa Student Transportation Authority

OSTA is the transportation site the OCDSB ecosystem uses for bus information. We do not state a fixed announcement clock for Ottawa, because we are not quoting one from the authority. Check the site in the morning.

Questions parents ask

Does the OCDSB include Gatineau?

No. Gatineau is in Quebec. An OCDSB closure does not close schools on the Quebec side, and this board page should not be read that way.

Where is the Catholic board?

The Ottawa Catholic School Board is named on OSTA's site alongside the OCDSB. We do not have a separate page for it. Use the Catholic board's own homepage to confirm a Catholic school.
