Just as Alberta set a new daily COVID-19 case count record, the UCP government on Thursday announced tighter restrictions for the most populous parts of the province that could include curfews.
In the past 24 hours, the province recorded 2,048 new cases of the deadly virus, exceeding the previous record of 1,873 set on Dec. 4 of last year while also tying the previous high figure for ICU patients, at 151.
Restrictions include a shift to online learning for all junior and senior high school students (a restriction already in place in Calgary) and suspension of all indoor fitness.
CALGARY The Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) is the latest school board to opt-out of piloting the province s new kindergarten to Grade 6 draft curriculum during the 2021-22 school year. Earlier this month, the CCSD held a forum for parents and trustees to talk about the draft curriculum. The feedback was reviewed and a board meeting was held Wednesday to discuss the findings and reach a decision. Thank you to everyone who participated in CCSD’s consultative process on the draft curriculum to share their thoughts. After review, #CCSD WILL NOT PILOT the draft curriculum.@Alberta UCP@AlbertaEd@AdrianaLaGrange@Alberta UCP@CCSD edupic.twitter.com/pGc4UJcXa1
