ONTARIO SCHOOLS STAY CLOSED REST OF SCHOOL YEAR

See you in September as schools in the province are not reopening until then.

In making the announcement, Premier Doug Ford says nothing’s more important than protecting our kids, adding it ”gives parents certainty, knowing that their children can continue to learn safely at home.”

Education Minister Stephen Lecce will announce a plan for reopening schools in September before the end of June.

Meanwhile, Ford says his government has a plan to ensure child care centres can reopen once the province reaches the second stage of reopening.

Overnight summer camps will not go ahead, but as long as trends keep improving, the premier says day camps will be able to open with strict public health measures in place.
