TLDSB system-wide school closure – April 1, 2025

Due to the ongoing aftermath of the ice storm this past weekend, many areas within Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) have declared state of emergencies and are still experiencing power and internet/network outages, downed trees and powerlines, gas shortages, and hazardous road conditions.

While some areas of the Board are less impacted, many students and staff live or work in severely affected communities. As a result, and to ensure the safety of all, TLDSB has made the decision to keep all schools (including the Virtual Learning Centre) and child care centres within schools closed to students and the public tomorrow, Tuesday, April 1.

Please note, schools will not be moving to online learning.

Given that many families in our Board remain without power and may not be able to access email or phone reliably, we ask families and staff to assist in spreading this communication broadly.

We appreciate your assistance and understanding during this time.
