Winter Storm Message – Dec. 15

Posted on Thursday, December 15th, 2022

Dear Colleagues and Learners,

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for our region commencing the evening of Thursday, December 15 and continuing into Friday, December 16. College leadership has been monitoring the forecast, which indicates a rapid accumulation of snow. As a result, please be advised of the following:

  • All College campuses currently plan to remain open on December 16. However, safety of employees and learners is the top priority. College leadership will continue to monitor the situation. Should the forecast change to predict greater storm impact, further announcements may follow.
  • Learners who are scheduled to be on campus for final assessments, or other scheduled activity, are strongly encouraged to monitor their College email accounts and their Brightspace accounts for any updates on scheduling.
  • Learners who are unable to attend campus, or a scheduled final assessment or activity due to weather conditions on December 16, should contact their program coordinator and/or teacher to discuss accommodation.
  • Employees scheduled to be on campus on December 16, who cannot attend due to weather conditions, should contact their manager/supervisor to discuss accommodations.
  • For learners on co-op work terms with employers or on placements, your safety is the top priority – if you are unable to attend due to safety issues, or other circumstances due to weather conditions on December 16, you are not required to attend. When/if you are able, please contact your co-op employer and your Co-op Department contact, or placement coordinator, for updates to make them aware of your situation.
  • Final assessments planned for Saturday, December 17 are scheduled to proceed as planned. If you are scheduled to be on campus, and cannot attend due to weather conditions on Saturday, please contact your program coordinator or manager/supervisor to make accommodations.

We are committed to providing a safe learning and working environment for our College community and will continue to monitor this situation. We ask everyone to please allow extra time for travel and to take extra caution as you make your way to and from the College. We will all need to show understanding, patience and flexibility as we weather this storm together.

Please continue to watch the College’s social media accounts, your email account and Brightspace account for any updates.

Thank you and please stay safe,

Claude Brulé
President and CEO
