- All university-related (including research and field work) non-essential domestic travel remains suspended until further notice.
- All personal domestic travel, and especially air travel, remains strongly discouraged.
- All persons must comply with provincial, territorial and local public health measures at your final destination including physical distancing, potential quarantine and masking requirements.
- Exemptions for university-related (including research and field work) domestic travel need to be approved by the relevant Dean or Vice-President in consultation with Environmental Health and Safety and Risk Management as required.
Alternatives to Travel
