Bringing vibrancy back to our campuses

A message from Santa J. Ono, President and Vice-Chancellor

In just a few weeks we will be welcoming the start of Winter Session. Whether you are transitioning back to campus, or you remained on campus, I would like to thank you for your support over the last year.

On July 1, the provincial government shifted to Step 3 of BC’s Restart plan (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/info/restart). Moving to Step 3 signaled the end of the longest provincial state of emergency in BC’s history. BC’s public health emergency remains in effect to support amended public health orders from the provincial health officer, with reduced requirements:

• Non-medical masks are now recommended but not mandatory for indoor public spaces.
• Indoor social gatherings are allowed for up to 50 people or 50% of capacity, outdoor social gatherings are allowed for up to 5,000 people or 50% capacity.
• Indoor fitness classes, gyms and recreation facilities are allowed to have normal capacity.
• If the situation continues to improve, we could move to Step 4 by September 7.
