The following message was sent to the McGill Community via email on Wednesday January 19th, and contains a useful set of guidelines for the January 24th Return-to-Campus:

 

Dear Members of the McGill community, 

As we transition to more in-person learning activities, some members of our community remain concerned about safety at McGill. The Omicron variant has made us all more cautious, and the situation in Quebec is changing how we track the presence of the virus on campus. We will continue to adapt as the pandemic evolves, as we have in the past.

On this day of Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on the tragedies that occurred at the residential schools and we are reminded that every child matters. As the Dean of the Faculty of Education, I am averse to calling those institutions “schools”. Schools are a place to advance learning, to open one’s mind to new ideas and diverse opinions; to mentor and collaborate with each child so they become the best they can be throughout their lives. Schools are where we better ourselves through insightful human relations, collaborations and nurturing mentorships.
