OTTAWA --
There is growing frustration among parents and students in Ottawa following news that schools will remain closed for in-person learning until the end of the school year.
Now, a group of parents plan a walk to protest the decision on Friday.
"It was pretty heart-wrenching. I thought this is not right, all the messaging here is schools should be open," said Veronica Jackson, about Wednesday's announcement from the Ontario government.
"It was really sad, we miss our teachers and our friends," added her six-year-old daughter Liv.
Jackson is organizing a walk to voice frustration over the decision. She’ll be protesting with her family.
