The health and safety of our community is NAIT’s top priority as we gradually resume activities on campus, following provincial direction.
The World Health Organization, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada and Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health strongly recommend wearing masks to prevent the risk of transmission of COVID-19.
With the introduction of the City of Edmonton’s Temporary Mandatory Face Coverings Bylaw, NAIT has updated our expectations for wearing masks on campus.
Everyone coming to campus is expected to wear a mask or face covering in indoor public spaces on campus. You are expected to wear a mask in
- Classrooms
- Lecture theatres
- Labs and workshops
- Computer Commons
- Library
- Study spaces
- Public meeting rooms
- Service areas
- Food and beverage kiosks
- Hallways, stairwells, elevators, pedways
- Washrooms
- Underground parking at CAT and HP
Exemptions
You are not expected to wear a mask
While masks do not replace the need for physical distancing, they are an additional measure to protect the health and safety of others, even if you have no symptoms. Review health and safety measures on campus and follow these requirements for coming to campus to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.
