Hamilton-Wentworth school board plans to keep mask requirement until April 1

A school board in southern Ontario plans to extend its mask mandate beyond the provincial one, even after the government instructed it to drop the public health measure.

Ontario’s chief medical officer, Dr. Kieran Moore, sent a letter to school boards Thursday telling them that they must make masking optional, and the board says it also received one from Education Minister Stephen Lecce on Friday. told boards that had requested an extension for mask mandates in schools that mandatory masking in schools is set to end Monday.

However, Danko says that the school board has continued to update the Ministry of Education about its transition plan and appreciates “the ongoing collaboration and support” from the ministry and Hamilton Public Health Services.

Please share this YCDSB pretty please.

Well, at least one school board has some courage to do the right thing for staff and students.

I'd love for a student to defy this order and it gets taken to court, seeing as how the board is already defying a provincial public health order

What is so horrible about wearing a mask - I just finished a transatlantic flight and wore a mask for well over 12 hours. It was no big deal.

Masks 100% work. My son got COVID and wore a mask in the house and ate in his room for 10 days. None of the rest of us caught COVID as a result - this is living in close quarters with him. Why do you think the flu all but disappeared during the pandemic? Masks

Public Health orders: keep masks on, vaccine passports required. Anyone who says otherwise is anti-science. Also Public Health orders: passports not req’d and no more masks. Thats outrageous! Thats just political! Why do we not trust science anymore? Science says masks off…

Good idea

Nova Scotia is smarter than Ontario Continues Mask Mandate at schools for a few more weeks A good idea after kids come back from March Break travel

Knock it off!!! Masks have been stupid and useless from the beginning!! Time to WALK OUT of your school!!! Covid is a seasonal flu..wake up!! 99.7% of people will be perfectly fine!! Many people have had Covid and said it was nothing.

Smart choice to keep them until after spring break with so many likely to travel.

I guess they’re just a bunch of science denying Neanderthals then, right?

Lmao science

With the coming of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ the great sign of Qiyamah is also fulfilled. And according to the hadith, only 1500 years were given to the Muslim ummah, so we are nearing Qiyamah.

From the way our city politicians run stuff right to the people in charge of the school board. A bunch of dinosaurs that do not change. Time for them to all retire.
