As most of you have heard, a province-wide strike by full-time and partial-load faculty, counsellors, and librarians at Ontario’s 24 public colleges could begin this Friday, March 18, 2022, if a tentative agreement is not reached between the union (OPSEU) and the College Employer Council (CEC).
We remain hopeful that a settlement can be achieved.
If however, a strike does occur, our campus and residence will remain open. Below are some ways our campus will be affected:
- All classes and labs will be cancelled, even those classes that are online
- All online student systems including, moodle, banner, myCambrian etc. will remain available
- Student services will continue, using online and in-person delivery
- Students either on placement or expecting to begin a placement will receive additional information from their program Dean
- Expect picket lines to be set up at entrances to the college, with slight delays in accessing campus. Please follow all instructions provided to you if crossing a picket line.
If students have questions about their specific program, they can use the inquiry email that has been set up for their School:
