As the fall term approaches, we look forward to welcoming more employees and students back to our campuses. We have planned for a fall term that creates an expanded in-person experience for all, while putting measures in place to protect and promote safety.
Late last night, we received new instructions from the Ontario Government’s Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the Chief Medical Officer of Health that outline their direction to us for the fall term.
In particular, the government now requires that universities must implement a mandatory proof of vaccination program by September 7 and that we can relax some physical distancing measures in instructional spaces such as classrooms and labs.
