ESJS Water Testing Update

Yellowknife Catholic Schools has received updated water testing results for École St. Joseph School. While all YCS schools have been using bottled water as a proactive measure since December, recent results confirmed that some fixtures at ESJS show lead levels above the maximum acceptable concentration.

Please be advised:

All Schools Remain Open
Continued Safety Measures: We will continue to provide bottled water for all students and staff to ensure the highest level of safety.
GNWT Remediation: The GNWT is implementing remediation measures, including replacing fixtures and installing filters.
Upcoming Testing: Testing for Weledeh Catholic School and École St. Patrick High School is scheduled for March Break.
