School buses have been cancelled in some parts of the Greater Toronto Area as the region braces for a blast of icy weather.

Student transportation services have been cancelled for those in the Durham District, York Region and Halton District school boards, and for some in the Peel District School Board.

Other school boards are warning of possible school bus delays due to the weather.

Environment Canada has issued a weather warning for a stretch of the province from London to Belleville, with freezing rain possibly mixed with ice pellets and snow expected to sweep though the region today.

The agency says some areas could see up to five millimetres of ice build up, and warns that roads and walkways will likely become slippery.

It says local power outages are possible.
