To All Members of the Carleton Community,
The Ottawa region remains under a flood watch.
Homeowners in the Ottawa and Gatineau region, and other parts of Ontario and Canada, continue to be impacted by flooding. Our thoughts are with all of the individuals struggling with the threats to their properties and communities.
As a precaution, our staff have been monitoring conditions on campus throughout the weekend. We are fortunate to report that there is no damage to our buildings or campus.
On Sunday morning, the Chaudière Bridge over the Ottawa River was closed due to high water levels. Individuals who rely on this bridge to commute to campus will need to plan an alternate route.
A number of municipalities have declared states of emergency. We encourage everyone to please follow directives from emergency management personnel.
Our campus remains open and operations are continuing, I would ask all members of our community to please be safe during the ongoing flood watch.
