Snowstorm forces Opération Nez Rouge to suspend rides Tuesday
More than 50,000 people have used the service since Christmas Eve
Opération Nez Rouge has suspended its service in Montreal until 7 p.m. Wednesday because of bad road conditions.
"With the weather conditions outside, for the safety of our volunteers and clients we decided to suspend our operations in some areas of Quebec," said David Latouche, a spokesman with Opération Nez Rouge.
Along with Montreal, the service will not be operating tonight in Laval, Longueuil, Joliette, Quebec City, Haut-Richelieu and Vallée-du-Richelieu.
Latouche said people should check @ONezrouge on Twitter for the latest on where they're operating.
