Transit in the Cowichan Valley and Salt Spring Island remains cancelled until further notice.
These cancellations come as Environment Canada is warning of freezing rain across much of the south coast including Greater Victoria.
In Victoria, HandyDART will still operate for essential service only for medical appointments.
