Parents in Waterloo Region can breathe a sigh of relief as schools in the area will not be impacted by a second one-day strike by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF).
The group walked off the job on Wednesday which forced all public schools in the area to be closed.

The OSSTF represents high school teachers in Waterloo Region as well as support workers at elementary schools in the area.
It announced a second round of strikes at select locations across the province on Friday.
The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is not one of those that will be affected.
“Our school day for all our elementary and secondary students will go on as normal on Wednesday, Dec. 11,” the WRDSB noted on Twitter.
