University of Lethbridge closes Lethbridge campus due to winter storm event

Sunday, November 8, 2020

Late Sunday evening, the University of Lethbridge communicated the following message to its campus community:

The weather event over the past 24 hours has created challenging road conditions throughout the region, including our Lethbridge campus. Area school divisions have cancelled classes for Monday and Lethbridge Transit is reducing services. Consistent with these actions, the University will close its Lethbridge campus for Monday, Nov. 9, 2020. This closure will include the University Kid's Campus Daycare.

While campus access is restricted, some employees will be on campus to ensure essential services are maintained and to remove the accumulating snow. More broadly, employees who are able to will continue to perform their important functions remotely – consistent with the COVID-19 realities we have been dealing with over the course of the year.

While this closure will impact some students who may have planned to be on campus, this decision should have minimal impact on classes considering this closure occurs during the fall reading week break.

Please be mindful of the winter conditions and stay safe.
