Catholic teachers will hold a one-day strike tomorrow.

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association will fully withdraw services in all Catholic schools across Ontario.

This means, all elementary and secondary Catholic schools in Niagara will be closed to students tomorrow, if a deal isn't reached with the province beforehand.

Non-striking staff is still expected to report for work.

The board says all continuing education classes will also be cancelled.

Early-ON Centres will be open.

Parents are encouraged to have plans in place for childcare.
