UPDATE: February 23, 3:00 PM
Earlier today, power was restored at St. Joseph, Tilbury; St. Anne, Blenheim; and St. Michael, Ridgetown Catholic schools.
As a result, the schools will be reopened to students and staff tomorrow.
Thank you to our parents/guardians who responded promptly earlier today, at schools where mid-day power outages required an early dismissal.
Thanks also to the hard-working line crews for Entegrus and Hydro One, who dealt with multiple power outages across Chatham-Kent due to last night’s ice storm.
As always, the health and safety of our students and staff is our first priority.
