The Provincial Government announced a repeal of the mask mandate for K-12 students. Chair of the Edmonton Public School Board, Trisha Estabrooks, expressed frustration with not being consulted about the policy. Apparently, the Edmonton Public School Board would like to keep COVID-19 policies in place forever?
