Public schools that were closed due to post-tropical storm Fiona cleanup will begin reopening Wednesday, including most schools in the Halifax area.

Fiona struck the province with hurricane-force winds Friday night into Saturday — causing widespread damage and power outages.

Most students in the Halifax Regional Centre for Education and Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP) will return on Wednesday.

For schools that have to remain closed, staff or principals will reach out to families.
