After a push for Canada Day celebrations to be cancelled, following the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at residential schools across the country, some events in Toronto have begun cancelling their planned festivities.

Students in grades 7 to 12 at Calgary public and Catholic schools will temporarily shift to at-home learning for at least two weeks, the province announced Wednesday, as it reported more than 1,400 new COVID-19 cases across Alberta.
Alberta Education said it approved requests from both the Calgary Board of Education and the Calgary Catholic School District to shift to virtual classrooms starting Monday, due to a chronic substitute teacher shortage and a “significant number of students and staff” in quarantine or isolation. It also cited recent requests for short-term shifts for a number of schools and “substantial COVID-19 cases in the community.”
