REGINA Two schools in the Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) have confirmed cases of COVID-19 variants of concern. All grades at Yorkton Regional High School and pre-kindergarten to Grade 6 at Davison School in Melville are moving to remote learning for the next week. It’s somewhat concerning in that we don’t have experience with [the variant] and it’s something new, Quintin Robertson, GSSD’s director of education, said. We’ve tried to take a measured approach, we have no experience with this, so we wanted to air on the side of caution. Robertson said with the help of local health officials, the school division has deployed rapid testing at both schools to proactively find any additional cases.
REGINA Regina and Saskatoon s airports could lose their international designation, according to documents released by Transport Canada. In an Advisory Circular effective Jan. 26, Transport Canada listed all Canadian airports that will continue to hold the international designation. Regina and Saskatoon were not included on that list. Airports not listed above having the term ‘International’ or ‘INTL’ published in the header information of the aeronautical products must demonstrate to the Regional TCCA office, no later than June 30, 2021, that they meet the requirements for designation as stated in this AC to maintain their publication as such, the Transport Canada advisory states.
