The Government of Alberta return to Step 1 COVID-19 restrictions immediately affects Keyano College

Posted On Wednesday April 07, 2021

 

On April 6, the Government of Alberta announced a return to Step 1 of COVID-19 restrictions due to the recent surge in positive cases and the increasing number of variant cases reported in Alberta. The latest mandatory health measures came into effect at 11:59 p.m. April 6, resulting in the temporary closure of the Syncrude Sport and Wellness Centre (SSWC). The College has decided not to continue with one-on-one fitness training permitted under Step 1 due to minimal activity, and concerns over public health. All fitness memberships will remain on hold, and no payments will be taken during the closure. Any questions can be directed to guestservices@keyano.ca

In addition, the Keyano Library, Keyano Theatre and Arts Centre, and rental space through Continuing Education will also be affected.

Access to Keyano’s Library study spaces, book stacks, and computer lab will be closed until further notice. Scan-on-Demand, arrangements for collection pickup, Book-a-Librarian, and all other virtual reference services remain available.  

The Keyano Theatre and Arts Centre studio rentals are being adjusted accordingly. Adult dance classes are cancelled. Kids dance (10 or less) and music classes (one-on-one) will proceed as permitted under Step 1. Also, April bookings at the Keyano Theatre have been cancelled or postponed.

Rental space with Keyano Continuing Education is based on the Guidance for Post-secondary Institutions (PSI). Representatives from Continuing Education will contact parties with a booking affected by the recent announcement.

Keyano College continues to make the health of employees, students, and the public a top priority and adhere to strict compliance with Alberta Health Services COVID-19 guidelines. A complete list of Step 1 restrictions can be found at alberta.ca/enhanced-public-health-measures.aspx. Step 1 restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
