COVID-19 Safety Plan
The Ontario (ON) Provincial Health Officer has advised that it is safe for Ontario to move to Phase 3 of reopening schools. Independent schools such as International Language Academy of Canada (ILAC) are required to prepare a “return-to-school plan” for its staff, students and visitors.
The Georgian@ILAC COVID-19 Safety Plan has been developed by Management after conducting a risk assessment of the 425 Bloor Street East Dream Building Campus.
Your health and safety is important to us
