On December 21, 2020 the Premier of Ontario announced Safer at Home Restrictions for the next 28 days and ordered a range of time-limited public health actions to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
This announcement included that all elementary school will be closed for in-person learning for the week of January 4 to 8, 2021 as well as all licensed, school board operated and authorized recreation and skill-building programmes for school age children. On January 7, 2021 this was extended to January 22, 2021.
