Good morning,

Unfortunately, Environment Canada continues to issue a Special Air Quality Statement that covers all of Ontario, including Waterloo Region.

In Waterloo Region the forecast for Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) levels for June 8, are forecast to be High Risk (7 to 8).  The government of Canada’s Air Quality Health Index Message is below as per a high-risk index.

High Risk 7-10 Reduce or reschedule strenuous activities outdoors. Children and the elderly should also take it easy. Consider reducing or rescheduling strenuous activities outdoors if you experience symptoms such as coughing and throat irritation.

As a precaution, to ensure student safety, the WCDSB Elementary Regional Track & Field event scheduled for today, Thursday, June 8th, will be cancelled.

Thank you for your continued support and flexibility to ensure the safety of our students.
