As a result, the University has made the decision that, commencing August 31, 2019, it will continue with the normal operating hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and to maintain the scheduling practices that have been in effect over the summer months throughout the entire calendar year.
Effective Friday, June 3rd, 2019, where operationally feasible, the University will be functioning under the guidelines indicated in the Summer Hours Bulletin.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Staff Relations at ext. 56598.
NOTE:
Due to inclement weather, the Day of Mourning event will take place in the University Centre (UC) courtyard indoors beginning at noon.
If possible we will still march from the Portico, meeting there at 11:30am, departing at 11:45am for a noon arrival at the UC.
When we complete the formal part of the ceremony, we will go from the Courtyard to the UC flag pole area to lower the flags to half-mast to conclude the ceremony.
