Dear colleagues,

Welcome back to winter term 1, both on campus and via blended delivery. This is the ninth edition of our biweekly update and we continue to make progress in our return plans. As we have seen over the last several weeks, there is a variety of communication coming from Interior Health and the Public Health Office. We thank you in advance for your patience as we work to bring you the most up-to-date information available.
