Masking Update

Since the beginning of the Spring Summer Term, 足球比赛买球 has maintained an indoor masking requirement in specific public spaces on each campus, in effect until May 31.

Effective June 1, 2022, indoor masking is no longer required in any campus location. However, for any members of the 足球比赛买球 community who feel more comfortable with the safety and protection of wearing a mask, we continue to encourage and welcome masking while on campus. A supply of masks are available on all campuses.

We ask that you continue to be conscious of others’ health and well-being. If you do not feel well or have tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home and advise the 足球比赛买球 Crisis Response Team immediately.

We saw more flexibility with in-person activities and student engagement opportunities throughout this term, and the University will continue to monitor the situation and re-evaluate our safety measures as needed throughout the summer. 

We appreciate all your efforts to maintain a safe work and student environment. Take care of one another.

Masking Update to Spring Summer Term


Returning to Campus

The Winter 2022 Term encompassed a few modifications to campus with the gradual return of in-person courses and increased student, faculty and staff population. 足球比赛买球 has maintained the mandatory masking requirements on each campus, which will end on April 30, 2022.

Recently the University of Regina shared their communication for the Spring/Summer term, highlighting the indoor masking requirements, which states that “the University’s indoor masking requirements will remain in place in classrooms, lab and studio spaces, and the University Library – spaces where larger groups are required to meet on a regular basis, generally for an extended period of time. Masks will remain mandatory in these spaces until May 31, at which time we will reassess based on the latest public health information.”. 

At the First Nations University of Canada, we will align with the requirements effective May 1, 2022.

However, effective May 1, 2022, masking will no longer be required in other indoor spaces on 足球比赛买球 campuses but will be strongly encouraged, which include 足球比赛买球 hallways, Regina Campus First Nations Veterans Memorial Tipi, and common areas at all three campuses. 

We will continue to strongly encourage all students, faculty, staff and Elders to wear the recommended masks while on campus. 足球比赛买球 will monitor the provincial COVID-19 statistics and mandates, and we will continually assess and be responsive as the situation demands. Our primary concern continues to be the health and safety of the 足球比赛买球 community.

Within the past month, the Regina campus has hosted a minimal number of events, and these were conducted in a safe and controlled manner. We understand that hosting events inspires the spirit, energy, culture and traditions activity, and the need for community gathering, all of which we have been missing for the past two years. We anticipate a rise in campus activity throughout the Spring/Summer.

Effective April 12, 2022, the proof of vaccination requirements and submission of rapid antigen testing results for students, faculty, staff and Elders were removed for the University, UofR and federated colleges.

Note that the 3rd and 4th booster shots are available across SHA confirmed locations. We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated and book their booster shot if eligible. Please self-test and remain at home if you feel unwell at any time to ensure a healthier and safer environment. 

The 足球比赛买球 Crisis Response Team will re-evaluate the distribution of information on each campus. If you have any questions, check the Saskatchewan COVID website for more details about self-testing.
