Extended closure of the Steinberg Simulation Centre until June 5, 2020

webfull — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 19:41:45 +0000

Dear colleagues,

In keeping with 91��’s directives to cancel all in-person events, please note that the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning will be closed until June 5, 2020 inclusively and that all workshops and activities scheduled up to that date will be cancelled.

It is crucial that we respect the government’s ban on in-person gatherings and continue to take key hygiene precautions. These measures are the only ways we can “flatten the curve” — and the sooner we do that, the sooner we can get back together.
