On Dec 22 the following email was sent to Waterloo students
To: Waterloo students
From: Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor
Date: Tuesday, December 22, 2020
Subject: What the COVID-19 provincial shutdown means for campus operations
Note: This email is for information and action where appropriate.
With Waterloo region joining the provincial shutdown effective December 26, 2020, we must adapt to the new emergency restrictions.
The shutdown affects our current approaches to teaching, research and other operations:
The Ontario government is strongly recommending that anyone travelling between provinces self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival. If you are returning to Waterloo from another province after the break, please make a plan to self-isolate before re-integrating with housemates or other community members. Remember that students are not permitted to quarantine in residence.
Please continue to do your part to contain the spread of COVID-19 and follow all University safety protocols. As we approach a period of heightened uncertainty, it is also important to take care of yourselves and each other. Help is available if you need it.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
