School and daycare closures
All schools and most regular child care programs in Ontario (public and private) are closed by order of an Emergency Declaration in response to COVID-19.
Exemptions have been made for child care centres supporting frontline health care workers and first responders provided the number of persons at each centre does not exceed 50 people. For local information visit Emergency Child Care in Waterloo Region.
Ontario's child welfare agencies continue to operate, visit Family and Children's Services of the Waterloo Region for information on how you can help during the pandemic.
