Continuation of on-campus instruction

On Friday, Jan. 21, 2022, the Provincial Health Officer sent a letter to the college and university presidents regarding the continuation of on-campus instruction for post-secondary institutions.

In the letter, Dr. Bonnie Henry advises that we continue to see lower risk in structured seated settings and given the “disproportionate adverse impacts of the pandemic on our young adults” we are urged to prioritize on-campus instruction. You can read a copy of the letter here.
