Classes cancelled in these school divisions as blizzard hits Manitoba
CTV
The looming blizzard set to hit southern Manitoba Wednesday has already prompted several school divisions in the province to cancel classes.
All Winnipeg public schools in all six divisions will be closed Wednesday and Thursday due to the blizzard hitting southern Manitoba.
An email from Seven Oaks School Division Superintendent Tuesday night said the closures will include all Catholic schools and Gray Academy schools in the city.
In-school childcare centres will also be closed.
The schools are expected to reopen Monday, April 18th.
The Brandon School Division also announced it will be closing all of its schools on Wednesday.
"It is our hope that the timing of this announcement provides parents the necessary time to prepare," the division said in a statement posted online. "We have not had a closure of all schools in Brandon for a very long time and this decision is not made lightly."
All schools and facilities within The Prairie Rose School Division will be closed on Wednesday.
