Taking a community-wide approach, the four school boards in Windsor – Essex County say they are working together to provide access to free, voluntary testing opportunities for in-person students, staff and children at day cares within the designated schools, who are not currently experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (asymptomatic) but want to get tested.

The first clinic run by a third-party vendor, Lifelabs, will be Saturday, March 13, 2021 at Immaculate Conception Elementary School (465 Victoria Ave., Windsor).

  • Prince Edward,
  • Dougall, Immaculate Conception,
  • St. Angela, Centre de formation des adultes,
  • St-Edmond, Mgr-Jean-Noël,

  • Louise-Charron.
