2022-2023 Year End

April 27, 2023

To: All, Hospitality Services

RE: Thank-you

As we approach the end of this school year I wanted send sincere thanks to all of you for your dedication and high level of performance over this past year.

It has been a difficult year, not only returning to normal coming out of the pandemic, but more so because of the challenges with recruitment.

I'm optimistic we'll overcome our recruitment challenges come September of this year. On that note I want to let you know that we'll begin issuing job postings from July 10th onwards to allow us sufficient time to complete orientation and training ahead of the new school year starting. Please ensure to check back and tell others.

I hope you all get a chance to enjoy some well-deserved relaxation time over the summer and I look forward to seeing some of you during the summer and welcoming others back later in the year.

Take care, and once again thanks so much for all your hard work.

I'm very proud and honored to be a part of your team.

Sincerely,
Colin Porter.
Director, Hospitality Services.

Fall 2022 Campus Update
August 22, 2022 2:00 PM

With the start of the fall term only a few weeks away, Western is taking measures to guard against COVID-19 in our community and do all we can to protect in-person learning for the academic year.

Based on input from our experts and our own community, we are requiring our students, staff and faculty to have been vaccinated for COVID-19 and to have received one booster.

We are asking the Western community to submit proof of vaccination status by October 1, 2022, through a new online process .

Students living in residence will need to get their booster dose before moving in. However, Western will offer a two-week grace period — and easy access to the campus vaccination clinic — for those students unable to get a booster before they arrive.

Starting September 1, as everyone is returning to campus, people will also be required to wear medical-grade (ASTM level 3) masks in indoor instructional spaces, with some exceptions . We will reassess the need for masking beyond Thanksgiving weekend, with the goal to lift the mask mandate as soon as possible.

Please visit our FAQs for full details.

We all look forward to the day the pandemic is completely behind us! In the meantime, weâ€™re doing everything possible to mitigate the effects of future waves â€“ and to offer a consistent, positive on-campus experience for the coming year.

Thank you for your continued support in protecting Westernâ€™s vibrant on-campus experience and our community.

We are excited to see you on campus soon.
