新加坡六合彩开奖直播 is proactively communicating to all students about the importance of community safety ahead of this weekend.
Though the university regularly communicates with students about safety and expectations for community behaviour, additional efforts are underway given that 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 has been made aware of large, unsanctioned parties being planned off campus in Halifax in the coming days. 聽
鈥淲hile we have all been looking forward to getting back together this year and understand the desire to socialize with friends, we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic with rising case numbers, and large student gatherings on or off campus pose a significant risk to our community, to our neighbours, and to each other,鈥� said Provost Frank Harvey in the message shared with students.
Students are being provided with information and contacts for emergency situations, sexualized violence supports and mental health resources. The communication also emphasizes that students who break COVID protocols on gathering limits or are involved in noise infractions or alcohol-related offenses are at risk of both major fines levied by Halifax Regional Police and being sanctioned through the university鈥檚 Code of Student Conduct.
鈥淚n recent years, large gatherings on Jennings Street and other neighbouring streets have gotten out of hand and have become a safety concern for the students involved as well as for families and individuals living in the community.
If you are considering attending any of these unsanctioned events, please consider the safety of yourself, your friends and neighbours and find another way to celebrate.鈥�
鈥� Provost Frank Harvey, in his email to students
The email communication is just one part of a multi-tiered effort to support student and community health and safety this fall. This includes a dedicated poster/social media campaign and providing alternate on-campus programming for students. (This weekend鈥檚 Dal After Dark activities include a 鈥渞age room鈥� and escape room, with all events expected to reach full registration.)
To further support these efforts, and to mitigate risks associated with unsanctioned parties on student and community safety, 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 taps into an integrated response team and applies additional resources in close partnership with the Halifax Regional Police (HRP), HRM and emergency services. HRP and 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 representatives are also going proactively door-to-door to talk to neighbours and students alike in the surrounding community to ensure expectations and supports for this weekend are made clear to everyone.

MEMORANDUM
To: 聽聽聽聽聽聽新加坡六合彩开奖直播 students
From: 聽Frank Harvey, Provost and Vice-President Academic
Date: 聽Friday, September 24, 2021
Re:聽聽聽聽聽 Your actions matter鈥攍arge unsanctioned off-campus gatherings
Dear students,
We are aware that large, unsanctioned parties are being planned off campus in the coming days. While we have all been looking forward to getting back together this year and understand the desire to socialize with friends, we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic with rising case numbers, and large student gatherings on or off campus pose a significant risk to our community, to our neighbours, and to each other. 聽
In addition to major fines levied by Halifax Regional Police for breaking COVID protocols on , noise infractions, and alcohol-related offences, students risk being sanctioned by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 through the university's Code of Student Conduct.
In recent years, large gatherings on Jennings Street and other neighbouring streets have gotten out of hand and have become a safety concern for the students involved as well as for families and individuals living in the community. If you are considering attending any of these un-sanctioned events, please consider the safety of yourself, your friends and neighbours and find another way to celebrate.
Your safety is our primary concern
It is important to note, in an effort to support the safety of our on-campus residence community, no guests are currently allowed in residence. This means no other students, other than students currently living in the respective buildings, are permitted. Any residence student who fails to follow the current COVID protocol on guests will face disciplinary actions that may include eviction.
Be an active bystander
Please watch out for each other鈥檚 safety by looking for ways to de-escalate potentially harmful situations, such as sexualized violence or alcohol/substance abuse. If you see someone in distress, and it鈥檚 safe to do so, help them by intervening.
If you find yourself or anyone else in a situation that requires help, the following resources are available. Please take care of each other. We are here to help.
