The above letter is to inform families of a COVID-19 testing opportunity that has been recommended for our school, Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute, as part of a provincial COVID-19 testing initiative for regions of the province which currently have a high number of active COVID-19 cases. Toronto Public Health (TPH) is collaborating with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, Ontario Health, Boards of Education and Michael Garron Hospital to increase access to testing for the entire school community. 

This expanded testing opportunity is available for all students and staff.

How are schools recommended for the Ministry of Education testing initiative?

Schools across the City of Toronto are identified for the provincial testing initiative based on collaboratively developed criteria and agreed upon by the Boards of Education. 

Criteria include schools with multiple cases of COVID-19 with an unknown source and unclear epidemiologic links and and/or where multiple cohorts have been dismissed from the school.
