Scheduled trips to Europe for high school students in Dryden and Red Lake have been suspended.
The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board made the final decision due to concerns over the Coronavirus.
Director of Education Sheri-Lynn Pharand says “It’s postponed and so the trip will go ahead for the students, just at a different time.
The Dryden High School trip was scheduled for March break, while the Red Lake journey was planned for April.
Pharand says they worked with the company arranging the DHS trip to re-book at a later date, while the Red Lake trip fell under the guidelines to cancel without penalty.
Pharand says the board determined that it was too risky to travel out of concerns of COVID-19 itself but also possible quarantine.
