One-Day High School Teachers Strike Could Impact Schools Across Niagara

Tuesday, 3 December 2019 14:13

By Marcie Culbert

A lot of students in Niagara will have the day off school, if the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation doesn't come to an agreement with the province.

Ontario's public high school teachers are preparing to walk off the job for one-day tomorrow.

If this does happen, all DSBN secondary schools would be closed for student learning on Wednesday December 4th.

It would also impact athletic/extracurricular activities, field trips and co-op placements.

The one-day strike would also affect Niagara's French public and catholic students.

CSC MonAvenir and CS Viamonde would have to close all of their elementary and secondary schools for the day.

The OSSTF also represents their support staff, and they will walkout in solidarity.
