Will Peterborough Schools Be Closed Tomorrow?
Peterborough sits at the gateway to the Kawarthas — a region of lakes, rivers, and Canadian Shield terrain northeast of Toronto. The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) serves a very large geographic area from Peterborough city east to Northumberland County and north into the Kawartha Lakes region. This large, partly rural coverage area means bus route conditions in outlying communities often drive closure decisions even when Peterborough’s city streets are manageable.

Peterborough Snow Day History
KPRDSB averages approximately 5–7 closure days per year. The board’s extensive rural and Shield terrain coverage means closures are somewhat more frequent than in pure urban boards. Lake Ontario snow belt events under northwest winds can deliver significant snowfall to the Peterborough area and the Northumberland county routes.
