What Happened
Due to severe weather conditions caused by an Alberta Clipper, several school divisions in Manitoba have announced closures today.

Additionally, various daycare centers such as Teulon Day Care and Starting Blocks Daycare Centre in Stonewall have also closed.
Why It Matters

The closures are part of ongoing efforts to ensure the well-being of students during adverse weather.
