OPERATIONAL UPDATES

University community members are reminded of the continued importance of following the COVID-19 safety protocols set out in the SFU Go-Forward Plan. SFU, like all organisations, is required under Public Health Orders to ensure compliance with COVID-19 safety measures. Individuals who choose not to comply with safety protocols may be refused access to an SFU campus and/or additional disciplinary action may be taken. Safety is a shared responsibility and we must all do our part to create a healthy and safe working and learning environment.

Please note that during the week of March 29, the section of Tower Road between University High Street and South Campus Road will face interruptions for asphalt repairs. Transit bus routing and scheduling are not expected to be affected.
