Thames Valley students will continue with independent/remote learning activities on Monday and until further notice.
Schools will not be open to students and transportation will not be running. There will be no before/after school programs, no Child Care Centres and no EarlyON Family Centres at Thames Valley schools until further notice, due to health and safety concerns.
Meantime, Sunday is Day 3 of a hearing to determine the legality of a walkout by 55-thousand Ontario education workers.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board spent more than 16-hours listening to heated arguments from the province and the Canadian Union of Public Employees yesterday.
CUPE told the board that if it grants the government’s request to declare the strike illegal, it would send a message that labour laws and collective bargaining rights no longer exist in Ontario.
Premier Doug Ford’s government has passed a law that banned the workers from striking and imposed a four-year contract on them.
