October 4, 2019

The District School Board of Niagara and the Niagara Catholic District School Board will be closing their all of their schools, if Ontario's education workers go on strike.

A handful of other school boards have also announced potential closures, leaving thousands of students impacted across Ontario.

Office employees and support staff could walk off the job on Monday, if a deal isn't reached between the  Canadian Union of Public Employees and the province. 

Representatives from both sides will meet at the bargaining table this afternoon.
