Keep masks mandatory for all grades in school

The Issue

The HCDSB (Halton Catholic District School Board) has decided to make Face Masks mandatory for ALL grades, including very young children in JK - Grade 3.  This was done to protect everyone and to slow the spread of COVID-19. The recommendations from various health departments suggest masks for children aged 2 and over. Sick Kids’ report explain that if classes cannot be smaller and social distancing cannot happen, masks should be worn by the young students. There is a petition going around to reverse this motion; this petition is hoping to keep that motion intact. 

I would recommend that anyone signing this petition also email the HCDSB to show your support at comments@hcdsb.org
