COVID-19 Update: Mask requirement changes effective Mar. 11

Dear TWU community:

As announced by B.C. Public Health earlier today, starting Friday March 11, masks are no longer required in public indoor settings under a public health order. As a result:

  • Masks are not required on TWU campuses, except for inside the Wellness Centre (Langley) where healthcare services are being provided
  • Wearing a mask is once again a matter of discretion
  • We endeavour to support every student, faculty, staff and visitor in their preference to wear or not wear a mask

Website updates are forthcoming: 

  • We are updating our website with further details regarding how these changes will affect campus operations
  • Please check our COVID-19 page (twu.ca/covid-19) in the coming days for additional information

As a Christian academic institution we seek to demonstrate deep and abiding respect for one another. As individuals in our community approach mask-wearing differently, we expect you to show kindness and understanding to all.

From the beginning of the pandemic, Trinity Western University has sought to abide by the B.C. public health orders: we continue to remain on this path.

Thank you for your patience as we seek to provide updated information as quickly as possible.
