All playgrounds on Winnipeg School Division property are off limits to the public once again. The order will remain in place for the duration of the remote learning period, which is scheduled to last at least until May 30. That will affect all 14 schools in the Winkler-area Garden Valley School Division and all 13 in the Red River Valley School Division, Education Minister Cliff Cullen said Saturday. Playground closures are being made for the safety of students — both in-school and remote learners — in response to increased use by community members during school hours, the Winnipeg School Division said. In March 2020, school divisions posted signs and removed swings at playgrounds for the same reason.
