Keyano College announced they will cancel all of its classes, effective immediately.

The post-secondary school suspended all classes including those in Trades, Academic, and Continuing Education.

This announcement aligns with the Alberta government’s order on March 15 as they deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Staff and faculty will develop an internet delivery program for most active courses should be online on March 20, 2020.

The school asks students not to attend in keeping with the province’s limit on large group gatherings.

Employees without swipe cards and others must access through Clearwater Campus’ Security entrance called “Entrance F.”

Common areas, the student commons, Library, and Cafeteria are all closed.

Students on work placements may continue at the employer’s discretion, but Keyano said they can make continuity plans if there is an impact to placements.

Staff who are ill will receive paid leave, and those who self-isolate or remain in good health may work from home.

Keyano College announced earlier they suspended Huskies sporting events and Theatre shows for the rest of March.
