In efforts to keep students and staff safe in schools, the Ontario Government announced that it will be postponing March Break in publicly funded schools to April 12-16. This decision was made with the best advice of Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health and other public health officials, including consultations with many local Medical Officers of Health across the province. It is critical we protect schools and avoid a repeat of the concerning spike in youth-related cases over the winter break, when students and staff were out of schools for a prolonged period of time.
The Ontario Government has released the Third Quarter Finances which demonstrates Ontario's unwavering commitment to support individuals, families and small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The report shows that the government is projecting to spend $25 billion more than last year, including an additional $2.6 billion since the 2020 Budget. These investments are being used to deliver the Ontario Small Business Support Grant, to provide more hospital supplies and PPE, and to better protect long-term care homes and child care settings.
COVID-19 has led to unprecedented uncertainty for governments in Canada and around the world, but Ontario will continue to support its residents to ensure we get through this.
