Ontario's top doctor said Tuesday he would like to see students return to their classrooms before the province starts reopening in mid-June. Williams said most public health units in the province support the reopening of schools, which have been shut to in- person learning since early- to mid-April. "Ideally, I'd like the schools open before we enter Step 1 of our exit strategy." "We also recommend that we prioritize the safe reopening of all extracurricular activities like sports, and we work to ensure that they stay open," Vaillancourt said. Teacher unions said last week they support reopening schools, but wanted the province to address their concerns to make them safer.
