Lights will remain off in elementary schools operated by the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board today.
A one-day strike is taking place today by members of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
Local Union president, Ann Saltel says their members will be gathering in Dryden today for a mass rally.
The one-day strike is against Bill 115, which imposes contracts on the teachers, and is supposed to take away their right to strike.
The rally will take place from 11 till 2:00 this afternoon.
