We use temperature at the Forks for checking the temperature, found here.
Temperatures are considered with or without the windchill. For example, children will not go outside at -20 C if the windchill is -25 C.

​

• Children will not go outside if the temperature is colder than -25 C.

• No longer than 45 minutes if the temperature is -23 C to -24 C.

• No longer than 1 hour if the temperature is between -16 C and -22 C.

• No longer than 1.5 hours if the temperature is between -7 C and -15 C.

• Staff will use their discretion regarding the length of time outside, including wind gusts, sunshine, and how the children are coping.

• Staff will use their discretion to assess the conditions of the sidewalks, roads, or other areas to ensure the safety of both children and staff.
