Frequently Asked Questions — Manitoba Snow Days
Does extreme cold close schools in Winnipeg?
Yes — when wind chill reaches -40°C or colder and is sustained through the morning hours, Winnipeg school divisions review closure protocols. Students waiting at outdoor bus stops in extreme cold present real safety risks. Extreme cold closures are separate from snow day closures and happen even with no precipitation.
