Ford government leans towards keeping schools closed for remainder of school year, sources say

closed for the rest of the academic year, and could begin to reopen the economy earlier than planned, sources say.

The general consensus from various stakeholders was that children should return to the classroom for the month of June, albeit in regions where COVID-19 infections are low. Five members of the advisory table recused themselves from the response to the Premier. Among them was David Fisman, an epidemiologist and professor at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, who has expressed concern on social media about the spread of the variant at the centre of India’s COVID-19 crisis.Chris Mackie, the Medical Officer of Health for Middlesex-London in Southwestern Ontario, has been advocating for schools to reopen.

Agree! Less than a month left.

Stupid idea.

He needs time to figure out where to point the blame before stating his decision. Spin the wheel: teacher unions, borders, carpooling golfers who enjoy a pop together...

This guy is failing in reopening as he failed in lockdowns

Well he is Late & Wired with Coronaviuis response; but, good too Want too Protect the Children... As thi $hit ain't over until Pope Francis tells some Moore Lies$

In as much as I would like to see school's opened, at this stage, perhaps it is best to simply focus on September. With three weeks left it might be too disruptive for all involved. jimwatsonottawa etches

They need to protect the children. They need to be isolated in their homes.

At this point focus on opening full time in September this year has already been lost... No more excuses on why we cannot open FULLTIME in September...

the need to lock everything down ended when all boomers and up got their first vaccines. There wasn't even a 'third wave' if you look at deaths

with golf courses now open. who cares about the rest?

Complete idiots - why? There’s next to no risk to kids and 18 and over have access to vax- so wtf 😳

Get them all vaccinated first. Them move forward

More Walmart aisles before schools. Remember at the polls folks.

Really disheartening news, let the kids go back to school...

When it comes closer to the time when Muslim ummah will be in strife, there will be many that will disguise as Muslim forces, but help anti-islamic agenda. Qasim’s dreams have warnings for the future of Muslim ummah. More at

Doesn't make sense to re-open them for only 3 weeks.

So what there are 27 days left in the year. How about opening retail earlier and pratios. I am tired of my park circle
