St. Monica School
The Ottawa Catholic School Board says St. Monica School will reopen to students and staff the day after power is restored.
St. Monica School suffered extensive damage to the roof during the storm on May 21.
"The roof is secured, covered and inspected by engineers. The building itself is deemed safe for students and staff to return," the board said about St. Monica School.
"Water damage is contained to the gym and two classrooms. That school section will be cordoned off for the remainder of the school year to allow repairs and enhancements, including installing an air conditioning unit for the gym."
OTTAWA STUDENT TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority says school bus service on Monday will be based on open schools as of 2 p.m. on Friday.
"No changes to transportation plans will be made over the weekend, even if more schools get power," the OSTA said.
Details on school bus route cancellations are available on the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority website.

Algonquin College says all classes – both virtual and in-person – will resume on normal schedules Monday at the Ottawa campus.
"The Program teams of faculty, coordinators, Chairs and Deans are working to develop recovery plans for Ottawa campus classes that were canceled. Those plans will be communicated with students upon their return," said a message to students and faculty this weekend.
All AC online courses will resume and placements that were postponed will resume.
The Algonquin College Early Learning Centre will be open on Monday.
