By the time September rolls around, I'll be back in Nova Scotia, where things are mostly under control. They were down to 0 cases for a couple weeks, but then an American travelling on a student visa failed to isolate properly and triggered a couple new clusters that have since been tracked down. Based on how it's been going, I'd expect them to get back to 0 by September, in which case there's really nothing to worry about and I'd be okay with kids going back to school. If that doesn't get under control, though, or similar incidents in the future cause a resurgence in cases, I'd be more reluctant.

If I were still going to be in Ontario in the fall? Nope. It has generally not been well-contained here, mostly due to the sheer population density of Toronto and the surrounding area, and as such I expect that reopening schools would result in that getting worse (I don't actually know what the plan is right now). That's just not a problem I'd want to contribute to. Maybe by October or November, if things go well until then, but not September.
