As most people know, Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) has a contract ratified by their teachers.
That being said, the Minister of Education has not "officially" signed off on their contract so it's not as "black and white" a situation as some might think.
As such, some teachers have withdrawn themselves from participating in volunteer activities; however, teachers are "not in a position for action as a collective group". In fact, some coaches have suggested that they should support the other school boards and withdraw services, while others feel that they should honour their commitment.
Sidebar: Teachers on LTO ("temporary") contracts are not part of the teacher's union, so they are withdrawing services. As such, there may be some schools that will lose coaches and, therefore, teams.
So, that's a quick summary to help you understand the situation over in Guelph and area as I see it. I'm not an expert by any means (nor am I involved directly), so take the above with a grain of salt.
Basically, games are currently moving forward "as they appear" on the schedule. However, there may be individual teams affected and the entire situation is certainly "subject to change".
