Health and Safety

Wait here

Celebrating Langarans will be taking place under the health and safety guidelines as stipulated by the Provincial Health Officer (PHO). Measures are being taken to ensure that risks are mitigated as much as possible. COVID-19 can be transmitted even by people who are not displaying symptoms of the disease. People who may be infected with COVID-19 should stay at home and not go to campus. 

This includes people who:  

  • Have or have had symptoms of COVID-19, cold or flu in the past 10 days. 
  • Have travelled outside of Canada within the previous 14 days. 
  • Have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days. 

Graduates, staff, and visitors to the College must: 

  • Take the Thrive BC Self-Assessment  
  • Follow physical distance guidelines, such as staying 2 metres (6 feet) from others. 
  • Washing your hands when entering and exiting a building. You can wash your hands (20-30 sec) in the washrooms nearby or with hand sanitizer (20 sec) at one of the hand sanitization stations. 
  • Use a mask even when outdoors. Masks are mandatory – if you don’t have one, we will have one available for you. 
  • Follow indications by staff at the event 
  • Only use entrances pointed out by staff 
  • Please do NOT come to campus if you show signs of illness

Safety measures taken by Langara College 

As part of the College’s exposure control plan, we have established a cleaning/sanitization strategy to ensure that all open facilities, counters, equipment, etc., are regularly and thoroughly cleaned. High-touch contact points, such as computer equipment, are cleaned more frequently. All disinfectants and cleaning supplies are approved and recommended by Health Canada. Other measures include:

  • Extra campus signage (directional, instructional, informational).
  • No-touch handles (e.g. kick-plates or forearm pulls) for doors in high traffic areas to avoid unnecessary use of hand contact.
  • Plexiglass will be used for several stations 
  • Limits on the number of people that can be in one space at a time.
  • Lots of reminders about hygiene, health self-checks, masks, and physical distancing.

Thank you for helping keep everyone safe!
