Many Local Schools Closed Amid Multiple Teachers' Strikes

Many local schools are closed today, amid a pair of teachers' strikes. After two days closing their elementary schools due to strikes by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario, the Algoma District School Board is closing all of its schools today, over a targeted strike by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. That targeted strike also includes the other three local school boards, though the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board assures its schools are open, as the OSSTF only represents noon-hour aides with the board. The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon and Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario are both closing their schools today, due to a strike by the AEFO, which represents teachers with public and Catholic French-language boards. All local schools are expected to be open as normal tomorrow.
