Students in the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph region won’t be returning to the classroom anytime soon, as the local health unit aligns its remote learning order with the province.
Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH) announced the decision to allow the local Section 22 Order to expire, and continue with the provincial order on Thursday (April 15).
“With the Province’s announcement this week that all schools will move to remote learning, the local Section 22 Order issued by Dr. Nicola Mercer will not be extended (and will expire on Sunday, April 18),” said Danny Williamson, communications specialist with WDG Public Health. “This will ensure there is no confusion between local and provincial guidance on schools.”
TORONTO Rogers wireless services were starting to return to normal Monday evening, the company said in a tweet, after a countrywide cellular service outage left many Rogers and Fido wireless customers unable to make calls, send text messages or use mobile data. The company has also identified the root cause of the intermittent outage and was still working to restore full service to its customers. A recent Ericsson software update affected a piece of equipment in the central part of the company’s wireless network, which led to intermittent congestion impacting many customers across Canada, Rogers Chief Technology Officer Jorge Fernandes said in a statement posted on the company’s website.
