Back to School & The Safe Return to Class Fund
September 16, 2020

As September begins students and parents start to prepare for the back to school year much differently than they have in the past.

Covid-19 has reshaped the way our kids will be going to school either virtually or in person. To ensure students stay safe inside the classroom, our government is providing an additional $2 billion through the Safe Return To Class Fund.

The $2 billion will be added to the Safe Restart Agreement and be distributed to provinces and territories based on the number of children aged between 4 and 18 years old, with a $2 million base amount provided to each jurisdiction.

Of the $2 billion, Ontario will receive a total of $763.34 million to ensure the health and safety of students, teachers, and community members as they return to school. 

Provinces and territories will have the flexibility to use the $2 billion to best fit their specific needs and can be spent on materials including but not limited to:

Let's all do our part this back to school season and ensure we take the necessary precautions to stop the spread of Covid-19 in Scarborough-Rouge Park.
