NIAGARA FALLS — Tempers flared on the first day of a lockout involving Catholic elementary teachers as parents struggled to find alternate care for their children.

In one instance outside Loretto Catholic School on Kalar Road, a woman who was attempting to leave after dropping off a child at the YMCA daycare located in the same building when she was confronted by a woman — who was not one of the teachers holding a picket in front of the school — refused to step aside and allow the woman through.

The exchange between the driver, Emily Reid, and the women, identified as Jada Nicklefork, president of Niagara Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario’s Niagara unit (public board), who at one point claimed she had been hit by Reid’s car.

The two women screamed at each other until Nicklefork was asked to move by another individual on the picket line.

The video, posted to Reid’s Facebook page has been seen more than 100,000 times.

Niagara this Week has reached out to Reid, Nicklefork and Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association representative Marie Balanowskibut emails and phone calls were not returned.
