On Friday, April 16, 2021, the Government of Ontario announced the closure of all outdoor recreational amenities, including basketball courts, baseball diamonds and soccer fields, to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The government has since clarified that this announcement does not include playgrounds. While playgrounds will remain open, the usual physical distancing requirements and outdoor gathering limits apply.

We recognize that these amenities are important to our school communities, however we must all follow the advice of medical experts from the Government of Ontario and limit public congregation.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to maintain the health and safety of our communities.
