Icy and poor road conditions have led to widespread school closures across Nova Scotia.

The following school closures are:

• Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education
• Annapolis Valley Regional Centre for Education
• Tri-County Regional Centre for Education
• South Shore Regional Centre for Education
• Strait Regional Centre for Education
• Halifax Regional Centre for Education
• Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education
• Conseil scolaire acadien provincial

These decisions come from Thursday’s freezing rain, rain, and a drop in temperature Thursday night, along with ongoing efforts to clear roads and sidewalks.

Residents are advised to stay safe and avoid travelling if possible.
