Northern Alberta school district cancels classes for remainder of year
Classes have been cancelled for the rest of the school year in a northern Alberta school district due to smoke from wildfires in the region.
Education Minister Adriana LaGrange says the closure of schools in the Fort Vermilion School Division is related to their ventilation systems — but it will give families one less thing to worry about during a difficult time.
““The safety of students is my number one priority. This closure will give them one less thing to worry about and help them focus on being with their families during this difficult time,” said LaGrange.
