Air Quality Update

Dear families, 

Environment Canada has once again issued an Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) statement for the Greater Toronto Area advising that high levels of air pollution are possible due to smoke from forest fires in Quebec and northeastern Ontario.

The current forecast indicates that the situation with the Air Quality Health Index is likely to continue throughout the day. 

As a result, we will be holding indoor recess today and our Playday will be moved indoors. We appreciate this may be disappointing as we near the end of the school year. 

Recently Ventura Park PS has upgraded their ventilation system throughout the school as well as has air conditioning in various locations.

As always, we will continue to follow the advice of Environment Canada and York Region Public Health and prioritize student and staff safety. As the situation evolves, we will continue to provide families with information.
