August 17, 2022; This message is for all parents and guardians at St. Augustine French Immersion Catholic Elementary school in Wawa under the following condition:
Flushed Sample
An exceedance for lead under Ontario Regulation 243/07 (Schools, Private Schools and Child Care Centres) has been determined on a “flushed” sample. As required, notification has been made to the appropriate authorities. Corrective actions have been implemented. That is, the consumption point has been removed from service and regular / enhanced flushing has begun. A resampling of the consumption point will be done as soon as possible. Corrective actions will remain in place until the issue is resolved and a Notice of Resolution is issued.
