BGCDSB schools will be closed Friday, Nov. 4, and are moving to remote learning on Monday, Nov. 7.

It appears at this time the withdrawal of services by our CUPE members could continue into next week. For the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board, this withdrawal of service will include our Educational Assistants, Custodians, Office Administrators, Early Childhood Educators, Library Technicians, IT Field Technicians, and CUPE staff at our Catholic Education Centre.

This comprises approximately 420 permanent and casual employees (about 41% of our staff). As such, all Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board schools will be closed to students until an agreement is reached.

We received confirmation today from the Ministry of Education that we are to move to remote learning. Tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 4, 2022 staff will be preparing their lesson plans in order to begin remote learning. Remote learning for BGCDSB students will begin on Monday, Nov. 7, 2022.

Updates will be posted here on the board's web page.
