Good afternoon Father Mercredi High School family,
We wish to be as transparent with you as possible in regards to a water main issue in our area and the operational status of our school tomorrow.
We have been advised there is a “large leak in a water main” in an area close to our school. Underground services have been working on this issue and will be turning off the water at 4pm after our school day today (Wednesday, May 3rd 2023) to complete the repair.
The expectation is that the repairs will be completed this evening and we will have water by tomorrow morning. But in the event the repairs cannot be completed by the morning, we would be in a position where we would not be able to open Father Mercredi High School for classes tomorrow morning (Thursday, May 4th 2023).
We will notify you by 7am on tomorrow (Thursday) morning at the latest, or earlier, as information on the repairs is available with a final decision about Father Mercredi High School’s operational status for tomorrow.
Thank you for your understanding,
Lisa Miller – Principal, Father Mercredi High School
Natasha MacArthur-Poole – Superintendent, Fort McMurray Catholic School Division
