February 28, 2023
The Emergency Management Response Team is monitoring the anticipated winter weather expected to affect Southern Ontario later this afternoon (Monday, February 27) and early tomorrow morning (Tuesday, February 28). The snow accumulation is not expected to be significant. The university will remain open. We will continue to monitor the accumulation and inclement weather. If the weather changes, we will update the campus community on any operational changes.
Travelling to campus:
If you need to travel to or from campus, allow for plenty of time, and travel with due caution and care, especially if you are in an area heavily affected by the weather. If you cannot get to campus, contact your supervisor or professor regarding your absence.
Students, faculty and staff are reminded they are responsible for determining when weather conditions make their travel unsafe.
