Hamilton’s public school board has officially cancelled prom and all graduation ceremonies for the 2019/2020 school year as safety measures to curb the spread of coronavirus continue.
In a statement, the Hamilton-Wentworth district school board (HWDSB) said it has added the celebrations to its list of cancellations made in mid-March. “HWDSB made the difficult decision to cancel all athletics, proms, banquets and similar events for the remainder of the school year.
Secondary school graduations in June have been cancelled and we will explore solutions to offer them in the fall,” the school board said in a tweet on Thursday morning.
