SD57 reminding public to social distance on district property

PRINCE GEORGE— School District 57 (SD57) is reminding the public that social distancing measures should be in practice regardless of where you are, and that includes fields and courts.

In a release by the School District it says that they would “like to remind community members about the importance of following the Provincial Health Officer’s COVID-19 social distancing strategy while using fields and courts on district property.”

SD57 fields and courts continue to stay open to the public, while playgrounds were closed on March 23 as a preventative measure to the possible spread of COVID-19.

“Our fields and grounds remain open for use and we hope that individuals choosing to spend time on our grounds choose to do so safely,” says Anita Richardson, SD57’s Superintendent, “we hope that school-aged children are reminded of the risks and encouraged to employ safe COVID-19 practices both at home and outdoors.”
