Students in Peel region won’t be heading on any school trips to Europe this year after recent terrorist attacks prompted the board to issue full cancellations.

A representative from the Peel School Board confirmed the decision on Wednesday, saying all trips to Europe have been cancelled as a precaution due to various travel advisories in place in Britain and the United States.

Among the cancellations include a trip planned for students at The Woodlands School in Mississauga, who were expecting to leave for Austria and Czech Republic on Friday.

A notice of the board’s decision was sent out Tuesday – leaving some parents wondering if they’d be out of pocket for the trips.

The board said they are currently working with insurance companies to refund all of the travel-related expenses.

While there are no current travel bans to any area of Europe, the government of Canada is advising travellers to ‘exercise a high degree of caution’ when heading to Belgium, Turkey and France.
