The Waterloo Region District School Board announced Tuesday that all Waterloo County High School Athletic Association (WCSSAA) sports will be suspended until January 3, 2022.
That includes games and practices scheduled starting December 14.
The school board said the decision was based on the direction of Dr. Hsiu-Li Wang, the Waterloo region medical health officer.
“This hiatus is in response to the increased number of COVID-19 cases locally, and an effort to reduce the risk of school layoffs and school closings,” the press release reads.
The school board said no decision has been made to alter the schedules and reschedule games not played at this time.
They added that they will review the situation early in the new year.
