Several schools in Newfoundland and Labrador are closed Tuesday, March 25, 2026, due to an incoming winter storm. Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued winter storm warnings for parts of the island, forecasting heavy snowfall and strong winds.
The closures are primarily a precautionary measure for the Avalon Peninsula, including the St. John's metro region. School districts, including the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, announced the pre-emptive closures to ensure student and staff safety ahead of the deteriorating conditions expected Tuesday morning.
Environment Canada warns that travel may be hazardous due to reduced visibility and accumulating snow. The storm serves as a reminder that winter weather can persist in the region well into the spring season.
