Ventilation in Schools - Secondary Schools

YRDSB is optimizing air quality in schools through improved ventilation and filtration. This is a key element in the protective strategies being employed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission and support healthier and safe learning environments. 

See below for information on ventilation in each secondary school, or use the links below to find your school:
