The Renfrew County Roman Catholic District School Board is expressing its appreciation to Arnprior High School for its hospitality in housing students from St. Joseph’s Elementary while their own school was being investigated for a potential gas leak.
An odour was detected at St. Joe’s prior to classes starting Thursday morning, and crews from Enbridge were called in to check the premises.
The Catholic Board says school activities were back on in time for an afternoon talent show.
Augmenting the the traffic congestion on Ottawa Street was an unrelated evacuation of a student from nearby Walter Zadow School due to a medical issue.
