RCMP spokesman Cpl Troy Savinkoff said one student was taken to hospital with serious injuries, while the other suffered minor scratches and bruises. The bus driver suffered minor injuries.
Savinkoff said icy roads, high winds and whiteout conditions could have caused the bus to crash into the canal and overturn.
RCMP are reminding drivers in central Alberta to exercise caution as road conditions remain poor in some areas.
