Local French-language schools will be closed Thursday, for a one-day strike.
The AEFO - which represents teachers with Ontario's French-language public and Catholic school boards - has announced plans for a province-wide strike on Thursday, February 27th.
Both the Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario and the Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon have confirmed schools will be closed during that period, though Nouvelon notes daycare and before-and-after school programs will operate normally.
While the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation has announced a targeted strike on Friday will include the local French school boards and their head offices, local schools are not included and will not be closing that day.
