Hamilton is waking up to the latest blast of wintry weather and while it appears the city may have been spared the worst of the snow, there are still some cancellations to report.
All remote, e-learning, child care and in-person learning at Hamilton’s public school board is cancelled Friday due to the inclement weather and because of cancelled transportation.
At Hamilton’s Catholic school board, all schools, child care programs and adult education centres are closed, but virtual school for elementary and secondary students will operate as normal, and in-person students can take part in asynchronous learning that will be posted online.
