WEATHER UPDATE – Message from the President (April 6)

Posted on Thursday, April 6th, 2023

Dear Colleagues and Learners,

I know many in our College community have been impacted by yesterday’s ice storm, with many across our region still without power. College leadership has been monitoring the situation, and would like to provide the following updates:

  • All College campuses – Ottawa, Pembroke and Perth are open and all classes are running on normal schedules.
  • AC Online continues to operate on normal schedules.
  • We understand that some learners and employees are still struggling with the after effects of the storm, including power outages and connectivity issues.
  • For learners in need of academic support, please connect with your teachers and program coordinators when you are able to discuss options. Please continue to monitor your College email, social media and Brightspace for any updates.
  • For employees impacted by the storm, please connect with your supervisors when you are able to discuss how you can best be supported at this time.
  • 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 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.
  • The Early Learning Centre at the Ottawa campus is operating on its normal schedule.

I want to thank our entire College community for your resilience, patience and flexibility. I also want to offer our thanks to Hydro Ottawa, Hydro One, and telecommunications companies that have been working around the clock to restore power and connectivity. I also want to acknowledge and thank the many employees who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to provide support.

 

Thank you and stay safe,

Claude Brulé

President and CEO
