Hamilton’s Catholic public school board says it will not be hosting its 40th annual science and engineering fair this weekend due to a forecast calling for heavy snow in the city.

Organizers say the event, hosted by the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board at Bishop Ryan Catholic Secondary, has been tentatively rescheduled for April 1.

As of Friday morning, Hamilton was under a winter storm warning with between 10 and 20 centimetres of snow expected by Saturday.
