HALIFAX With a number of schools in the Halifax Regional Municipality shut down because of COVID, many parents are left scrambling. To say it s an inconvenience is a bit of an understatement, said father of two Logan Delaney. My personal situation it s a matter of picking whether it s my wife or I that stay home and how do you navigate that with your employer? Two of Vanessa Budrow’s three children are impacted by the school closures. I m a single mom of three and I m self-employed, she said. Now that there s no school, thankfully I have my mother-in-law down here. She came here right before the borders closed, so she was able to get down here just in time and now she s here taking care of the kids. Otherwise, I am not sure what I would do.
