May 16 Town Hall Summary
Dear McGill community members,
Earlier today, we hosted a Town Hall to discuss McGill’s financial situation. We know that not everyone was able to attend, and that it may be difficult to find time to watch the video recording that will soon be posted to the Horizon McGill website. So, we thought it might be helpful to share a high-level outline of our presentation here:

La version française suit.
Dear colleagues,
At the February 7 Town Hall, we announced that in order to address a projected $45M operating deficit in the 2025-26 fiscal year, it would likely be necessary to reduce McGill’s workforce by 350-500 people. We said at the time that although we hoped this could be achieved mainly through attrition, layoffs were likely unavoidable.
