December 9, 2020 – the Saskatchewan Health Authority informed us that there was one case of COVID-19 in an individual at Ecole Wascana Plains School. 

For the safety of students and staff, and in consultation with Public Health, we have informed all close contacts and provided them information about self- isolation. The affected students and class will begin remote learning on Friday, December 11, 2020

Information letters will be sent to families on December 9.  The school remains open for all other students.

As this information was shared during the school day, there was no automated message made to school families.

If there are any additional close contacts at the school, they will be contacted directly by Public Health. A close contact is someone who has been within two metres (six feet) of someone for a cumulative 15 minutes. 

DECEMBER 8, 2020 -- Even though ice has formed on some water surfaces in Regina, residents are reminded to stay away from all bodies of water, including Wascana Lake and creek/storm channels and detention ponds in residential neighbourhoods.

Throughout the winter season, do not walk, ski, skate or play on any body of water. Parents/caregivers are asked to take a few moments to talk with children about this important safety rule.

If you see people, particularly children, close to thin ice, call Regina Police Service at (306) 777-6500. In an emergency involving people or pets, call 9-1-1.
