Given the recent escalation in COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases, the University of Calgary has adopted a framework based on Public Health Agency of Canada guidelines to determine whether previously scheduled events should proceed as planned. Upon review of the specifics of our events, it has been determined by the Engineering Student Society that all ESS events will be cancelled for the remainder of the semester, including the graduation banquet. This hasn’t been an easy decision.... It was made out of an abundance of caution and acknowledging guidance on events from Alberta Health Services. If you have already purchased graduation banquet tickets, we are working with the Schulich School of Engineering to do online reimbursements. We apologize for any inconvenience and we will have more information regarding reimbursements in the next few days. This cancellation was not done due to a specific risk, but rather because of the weighting of risk factors around COVID-19 such as event size, nature, audience composition and travel considerations. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [email protected], and we wish you the best of health.
