Safe Passage Letter Protocol
Safe Passage Letter Protocol
Given the Government of Quebec’s announcement of a province-wide curfew from January 9th to February 8th to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Safe Passage letters are being provided to facilitate travel by McGill members (faculty, staff, and students) to / from campus for essential activities (academic, research, work) between 20h00 and 05h00 ONLY.
- Casual employees: Safe Passage letters can be issued. The employee must also print out and carry their confirmation of employment letter (available in Workday) or a recent pay stub.
- Visitors: Safe Passage letters must be issued from the McGill sponsor if not provided by visitor’s employer. Security Services will be unable to authenticate visitors as they do not have a McGill ID.
- Service Technicians: Safe Passage letters may be required. In most cases the letter should be issued by the service technician’s employer. One exception may be international or out-of-province technicians as their employer may not be aware of the requirement. Safe Passage letters may be issued by the McGill sponsor for out-of-province technicians. For international travel, contact Procurement for assistance.
NOTE: Letters are valid for the January 9th to February 8th period, and will be issued as needed and not on a pre-emptive basis. Letters issued in spring 2020 are no longer valid.
