Students at Barrie’s Portage View Public School will have the day off today courtesy of an electrical failure.
Electric utility workers are on site working on correcting the problem; however, it is estimated that the timing of completion of repairs and restoration of power, combined with current sub-zero temperatures, will not allow the school to be sufficiently heated by Friday morning.
Therefore, the school will be closed on Friday. It is expected to re-open on Monday.
