A truck hits the Holy Cros school

Classes are set to resume at Holy Cross School in Winnipeg after a truck crashed into the building earlier in the week.

According to the school’s principal, Catherine Walker, the incident happened on Tuesday around 3:15 p.m. when a truck drove through the wall into the school.

The Winnipeg Police Service and Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to the scene. No one was physically injured.

The school was closed Wednesday but reopened Thursday. Walker noted that 2nd grade students, whose room was directly impacted by the accident, will learn outside of the cafeteria until renovations are completed.

Walker added that school staff members are working together to welcome students back.

“I am very grateful to the staff I have here at Holy Cross School; we are truly a family and during these difficult times they have been there to support each other and the students,” she said in a statement.

Normal pick-up and drop-off will resume at the rear doors of Holy Cross School.
