Snowstorm closes schools
One day after students returned to school, the messy snowstorm has closed some schools (outside of town, for the most part), besides causing power outages and flight delays.
The return to class has also been perturbed by a schoolbus strike.
Updating to add Radio-Canada’s report that at least one Montreal school has had an infestation of rats since the strike.

The schoolbus strike predates the teacher strike. My understanding is that the LBPSB has allowed all affected students a space (possibly paid, not sure) in before/after school care, but the EMSB has not, though they will now give parents 7$/day per missed day per child.

It’s not the only school with rats. My wife’s school (EMSB) has had rats for some time. Nothing is done about it, unfortunately.

My college has mice … but rats? Wow.
