Liberal leader Dominique Anglade claims the messages coming from the government and public health are confusing and she's urging Quebec to postpone the elections.

Six of Quebec's English school boards have at least one race where multiple candidates were nominated, necessitating an election.

The government originally postponed the November English school board elections back in October due to public health recommendations.

Premier François Legault announced the decision Wednesday, saying public health recommended postponing elections.

"It's a victory for minority rights," said former MNA and head of APPELE Québec Geoff Kelley.

The English Montreal School Board joins the province's eight other English-language school boards and passes a resolution to join the legal fight against Bill 40.

On Friday, the Quebec English School Boards Association said its member boards don't yet feel safe enough to reopen their establishments.

English school officials say they still have a lot of concerns about upcoming school board reform.

Anglophones in Quebec believe eliminating English-language school boards puts minority language rights at risk, according to a new survey by Léger Marketing.

English speaking Quebecers want to elect their own school board officials and reject the provincial government's proposal to replace them with service centres.
