Ontario’s Education Minister is saying an extended winter holiday for school children is not necessary at this time.
Stephen Lecce made the announcement in a statement Wednesday after consulting with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and the Public Health Measures Table, saying they determined that an extended winter holiday is not necessary at this time, given Ontario’s strong safety protocols, low levels of transmission and safety within our schools.
He says “Our focus remains protecting the progress we have made in our schools this fall, as we look to and plan for the new year, so that students can continue to go to school each and every day.”
