The state of local emergency in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality has come to an end after the area saw historic amounts of snowfall last weekend.
In a post to Facebook on Sunday, the municipality said the state of emergency came to an end at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
The municipality declared the state of emergency after a vote from council on Feb. 4 as a result of the historic snowfall that hit parts of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
All Cape Breton Victoria Regional Centre for Education schools will be opening on Monday after being closed last week due to the snow and state of emergency.
“Sidewalks are not cleared on the streets approaching many schools. Motorists should be aware, and use extreme caution around students walking to school and or waiting for buses,” read the release.
The CBVRCE says some bus schedules may still be affected, and schools will communicate details “where applicable.”
Cape Breton University is also slated to reopen on Monday.
