We have recently seen notifications of which schools will have strike activity tomorrow. 

We understand receiving these notifications this late in the evening can be disruptive and difficult for families and staff alike. Please know we are doing everything we can to share this information as quickly as possible, as soon as we know which schools will be affected by strike activity the following day. 

Schools with CUPE Local 2559 Strike Activity for Thursday December 5, 2024:

• Father Mercredi High School
• Our Lady of the Rivers Catholic School
• Good Shepherd School
• Elsie Yanik Catholic School
• St Kateri School
• Sister Mary Phillips School
• Division Office

Picket Location: 

• Dr Clark School

Important to note: 

• Program closures only happen on strike action days in your school. 
• Please limit phone calls to the main office. We ask that all primary, non-emergent communication (relaying messages, asking questions, seeking information, etc.) continues to happen via email to your child’s classroom teacher or through Edsby.
• The latest updates on the CUPE Local 2559 strike action will continue to be posted on our website.
• If you have questions specific to your child(ren), please contact your child’s school directly

While recognizing the right of our support staff to engage in legal work action by striking, we know this action has an impact on our classrooms and schools. We remain committed to bargaining and working to find a resolution.

Thank you for your grace, patience and understanding. We will continue to share updates with staff and all families when information is confirmed and can be shared.
