On Tuesday, Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced that it is not safe for students to return to the classroom, effectively cancelling the rest of the school year.
It was also announced that as of right now COVID-19 trends will allow day camps in July and August, but all overnight summer camps have been cancelled.
Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson says she is pleased with the announcement as it will ensure students and staff will be safe.
Thompson says that in terms of graduations until mass gatherings can take place we will all have to get a little creative.
Details about summer education as well as new guidelines for September are slated to be announced before the end of the school year.
