KPR SCHOOL AND CHILD CARE UPDATE FOR APRIL 2, 2025

KPR SCHOOL AND CHILD CARE UPDATE FOR APRIL 2, 2025

We are resuming school operations where possible - many schools will be open for students and families. We also recognize that some families and staff are continuing to deal with the impacts of prolonged power outages or storm damage.  

While storm clean-up continues and power restoration efforts are ongoing, the condition of sidewalks and roads, including traffic light operation, may vary in each neighbourhood and area. Families should take care in planning their students’ route to school. In discussion with municipal partners, they are working to deploy crossing guards for schools that are open.
