The closures are a result of blowing snow in many parts of Manitoba, with Environment Canada issuing a yellow blowing snow advisory.
According to the agency, poor visibility and blowing snow is expected in southern and central Manitoba starting early Sunday morning. It blamed the conditions on another clipper system that brought a few centimetres of snow to the region Saturday and said the situation is likely to improve by Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, wind gusts of 60 km/h to 70 km/h are expected and people are advised to postpone non-essential travel until conditions improve.
