"The government will continue to provide free high-quality masks for students and N95s for staff, if they choose to use them, all which remains unchanged from the 2021-22 school year," reads the email. The ministry adds that leading medical experts, including the Children's Health Coalition and medical officers of health, were consulted in this year's health and safety plan.

this seems to be in line with what honorable ministers are doing... they tell peasants to wear masks in public, but... 'all animals are equal, but some are more equal than the others'

Until more start to die as Ontario cases are rising...Hey lets get some teachers sick, New vax, more deaths are coming to Canada no doubt

Why would there be? CV19 legislated away in Ford-a-lot!

Masks are dropped in most places, and we see an increase HC demand, then we see our overworked HCWs are getting sick. Then we see masks are dropped on transit, and we see transit workers are getting sick, placing more demand on our HC. No masks in schools - what could go wrong?

Colossal failure by Ford and his government

Ontario has no one to blame but themselves.

How will fordnation make sure that boards do not implement their own rules?

👎👎👎

Please read this and then read it again OCDSB

I can't wait to see all the snowflake helicopter parents crying about this. 🤣🤣

My freedom convoy worked 🇨🇦🥳 Covid is over. 😘

Excellent...

The Forever Flu Brigade will not like this.

Hallelujah 👍

No mandatory masking in the economy / community doesn't appear to be bringing back mandates or shutdowns....the herd is massive and growing everyday

Well done! Very sensible.

Very, very bad decision.

Should have never been one in the 1st place

Wait for it... there will be a catch.
