Summary

During the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Toronto Public Health has worked non-stop to support children and youth through challenging and unprecedented circumstances.

It is important at this time to take stock of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had for school-age children and youth, so we can make effective recovery and support plans going forward.

We are requesting that the Medical Officer of Health report back in April with an update to the Board.
