Vancouver Island school districts have cancelled class Thursday due to heavy snowfall.
The following school districts are calling a snow day due to poor driving conditions:
- Greater Victoria School District
- Saanich School District
- Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District
- Sooke School District
- Campbell River School District
- Qualicum School District
- Alberni School District
- Comox Valley School District
- Cowichan Valley School District
- All Vancouver Island Catholic Schools
The cancellations do not affect students who have already had their return to class delayed to Jan. 10 because of surging COVID-19 numbers.
However, students of health care workers or other essential workers, as well as those with complex needs, will not be able to attend school.
Many universities, including the University of Victora, Camosun College and Vancouver Island University also closed their campuses Thursday due to the winter storm.
