Also, since not all kids were present regular teaching wouldn't take place but "snow day activities" instead, fun games and extra learning activities.

Funny how different provinces do things...and how easily we forget that 'our; way isn't everyone's way!
Maybe it's a board thing not a province thing. Snow day in Halton and Niagara board means the schools are closed. Buses are cancelled all the time but that's seperate and is not something the schools have any control over. It's the bus companies call. If it's a snow day don't drop your child off, at the most there will be administrators there. Schools are officially closed!

I've had teachers kids who worked in both boards and I've had my own kids in both too so clarified the actual true meaning
