Some high school sports teams from Rainy River district high schools are having to hang up their gear a little earlier than expected.
The school board responsible for high schools in the Kenora and Dryden areas has put an immediate halt to all extra-curricular activities at its schools because of the teachers planned withdraw from events on Monday.
Education Director Jack McMaster says the board simply couldn't guarantee adequate supervision for further games.
Any games scheduled for the weekend, involving high schools from Rainy River, Fort Frances and Atikokan and the Kenora-Dryden area schools, have been cancelled until at least after the Christmas break.
A volleyball tournament at Fort Frances High School is proceeding.
