Flood toll: One school reopens, one stays shut

Aerial view of Alexander Elementary School, top, and adjacent Quamichan Middle School. The former will be closed today because of flood damage. The latter, a little farther from the floodplain, is to reopen.

A North Cowichan elementary school will be closed Monday after heavy flooding in the area last week forced hundreds to flee.
