COVID-19 Information for Public, Staff, and Students

COVID-19 Operational Protocols

As we begin the 2021-2022 academic year, the health and safety of all staff, students, clients and visitors are of the utmost importance.  We strongly encourage everyone to get double vaccinated and will be providing on-site vaccination clinics at our three campus locations this fall.  While no decision has been made at this point to require all staff, students and those visiting our facilities to be double vaccinated, we will be monitoring the COVID-19 situation very carefully should we need to implement a double vaccine mandate at the beginning of 2022, or upon direction from the Saskatchewan Health Authority.  The following safety precautions will be in effect as of August 30, 2021, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmissions within our learning community.
