“It’s our genuine desire to make sure no one feels pressured to do this,” B.C. Premier John Horgan said
VICTORIA — Students in British Columbia can go back to school June 1 on a part-time, optional basis with no pressure on parents to send their kids to class, says Premier John Horgan.
“It’s our genuine desire to make sure no one feels pressured to do this,” he said. “Our objective here, and our top priority, is to make sure our schools are safe. This transition is voluntary.” “This step will pave the way for a cleaner and smoother reintroduction of full-time classes in September,” said Horgan.
