Local French Schools to Remain Open as AEFO Strike Called Off

Local French-language schools will stay open tomorrow, as a one-day strike has been cancelled.
The AEFO says it has called off its provincial walkout - not because it's "bowing down to the demands of the government and the school boards" - but because of safety concerns for members on the picket line, due to heavy snowfall forecast for many regions of Ontario.
It adds negotiations will continue Friday, with an update expected after the bargaining session.
Both the Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario and the Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon have confirmed this means their schools will stay open tomorrow.
Their local schools will also remain open on Friday, as the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation holds a strike targeting both boards in the Sudbury and Manitoulin districts, but not locally or in the rest of the Algoma district.
