The Rainy River District School Board is being respectful of the decision by Iron Range Bus Lines not to travel Highway 502 this winter because of its concerns with road conditions.

It means longer travel times for Fort Frances High School sports teams heading north by taking Highway 71.

Education Director Heather Campbell says safety of students has to be considered.

Campbell says they are looking at options with other boards to see if games can be played at neutral locations to reduce travel times.
