- Parking Reminders
Parents parking and dropping off their children near Westforest and Victoria: please obey all parking signs as marked. Double parking is causing difficulties for local homeowners to drive through the street and may lead to increased by-law officer attendance and ticketing.
- Update from Waterloo Region Public Health
In Canada, some viral infections increase during the winter season, typically between October and April and can affect people of all ages. These viral infections can cause respiratory illness or viral gastroenteritis. While not usually serious, viral infections can be spread to others. In schools, it is common to have periods of illness and absenteeism that may peak at various times during the season. For more information and tips on staying healthy see public health update
