University College of the North (UCN) students and employees, as well as visitors to its campuses and other learning sites, must continue to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination and wear masks until the end of the winter term on April 22.
Manitoba public health orders will no longer require proof of vaccination to access certain public places as of March 1 and the requirement to wear masks indoors in public settings will be dropped March 15 but UCN said in a Feb. 25 news release that it made the decision to maintain the requirements to “avoid as much disruption as possible for students who continue to study at UCN learning facilities.”
“Our situation at UCN is unique given our hands-on learning environment, our residences and our multiple teaching sites throughout the north,” said UCN president Doug Lauvstad. “UCN will continue to work to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe, healthy and engaged in education during the pandemic.”
