Several schools under the Centre de services scolaire des Draveurs and Centre de services scolaire au Cœur-des-Vallées are shut down, along with Buckingham Elementary School and the CISSSO community service centres in Cantley, Otter Lake, and Vallée-de-la Lièvre. The Ottawa Valley takes the brunt of the ice storm, leading to these widespread disruptions.
