Classes at Sudbury's Marymount Academy suspended due to staff shortage

SUDBURY -- Sudbury Catholic District School Board has suspended all classes at Marymount Academy on Monday citing a staff shortage.

A letter sent to families also said all of the school's bus routes have been cancelled as well and that more information is to come.
