Students across most of the province are back to school under the low-risk scenario, meaning that extra-curricular activities, including sports, can start up. Such activities first began to fall by the wayside in the spring of 2020 with very little happening last school year.
Karen Richard, Executive Director of School Sports NL, says they have been consulting with the board and Public Health for the past few months on a “return-to-play.”
They have been assured that under the low-risk scenario, they can play for the varsity and provincial events, culminating in provincial championships for the first time in a year-and-a-half.
