BC Transit is reporting that some of their routes are impacted by winter weather and there may be delays.
During a campus closure, academic and administrative functions that are available remotely will continue. The closure only applies to those activities that must occur on the physical campus.
We are actively monitoring weather conditions. Crews have been on campus since 4 a.m. today and are working hard to make the campus as safe and accessible as possible. Following UVic’s Winter Weather Response Plan, snow and ice are cleared from roads, parking lots and main pathways in order of priority. Some sections of pathways and parking lots may be slippery.
More snow is forecasted for this evening. We work hard to keep campus open, even in adverse conditions. When inclement weather is in the forecast, UVic’s grounds crew, custodial staff and security staff arrive to campus very early to assess and address any impacts. If adverse weather conditions occur overnight, expect an update at uvic.ca after 6:30 a.m.
