As you are aware, today marks the beginning of a heat wave in the Region of Waterloo. These are the guidelines the board has provided to us for this week.
Extreme Heat: Temperature With or Without Humidex
- Cooler than 35 C: students may remain outside for all regular outside activities.
- Between 35 & 40 C: students may remain outside for no longer than 20 minute intervals at a time.
- Hotter than 40 C: students must remain inside.
Note that sporting events scheduled for this week are subject to this and may be cancelled as a result.
