There’s not a lot of snow in the forecast today. However, perhaps stung by the criticism earlier this week, the Halifax Regional School Board has decided to close all schools for the day.

It’s a snow day for South Shore schools as well as the Annapolis Valley, with the exception of West Hants where they are keeping schools open.

The province has asked the NSTU to try conciliation again.

Premier Stephen McNeil is out of town but sent a request to the Labour Minister to try concilliation again with open minds and reasonable perspectives. So the two sides will sit down Saturday.

NSTU President Liette Doucet told reporters she hopes this is a signal that the government is willing to bargain.
