English Catholic schools will be open on Wednesday

The Nipissing Parry Sound Catholic District School Board says it’s schools will be open on Wednesday.

The board says they do not have employees represented by OSSTF, therefore they are not impacted by the potential one-day strike on Wednesday.

They say teachers at the English Catholic Board are members of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association, which is not in a legal strike position, with negotiations ongoing.

Late Friday, the Near North District School Board, involving English public schools, announced it’s schools would be closed on Wednesday if OSSTF members undertake the one-day strike.
