Hi Dave,
There’s actually quite of bit of snow that fell last night and it’s dangerous driving in these conditions. Should I contact my professor directly? I’m not too sure what to do.
Yes. Please contact your professor through the method you usually would communicate with them (email, blackboard etc.).
Have you taken a look at the highways? They do not look clear.

Hi Dave,
Any updates or thoughts on cancellation. I’m in the BSN program and my group is afraid to travel out today for our clinical placement. We have classmates coming from Chilliwack and delta! It would not be easy for them to risk coming out just for schools to close at 7am.
Thanks 🙂

Hello, is UFV monitoring conditions other than just Chilliwack & Abbotsford? Snow has accumulated in Langley and I am to commute to Chilliwack because my prof has permission to run the class. Conditions are dangerous. Our class starts early. I will need to leave in the next 30 min. Is UFV going to be the one making the call here or are we to simply contact our profs? This is our last class that should be done via zoom has we know it’s possible after the last two years.
Concern student.

Hello, I think having an update at 7 am is a bit to late as people start classes at 7am and 8 am with people leaving early in the morning from all over the Fraser Valley. Just wondering if we could get an update ASAP.
Hi bwhitehouse,
Thanks for your comment re: 7am. Typically we do update by 0600, however with nearly all UFV classes occurring remotely, we moved that time to 7am. We provided an update last night indicating we would be open and those limited in-person classes would be proceeding. This was done to let people know of our plans last night and to prepare for classes to continue. However, I am taking your comment under advisement, for sure.
Thank you! Was just asking so I could let my classmates know what was going on for sure. Much appreciated
You’re welcome! Stay safe – leave lots of time and go slowly if you decide to travel today.
The highways are not safe right now. This is ridiculous, ufv stated “your safety is our number one priority”. Not everyone lives in chillwack and Abbotsford. There is a lot of snow in Surrey/Langley area..

Highway might be clear but the roads are a different story. All ice and slush. Not safe.
Will classes still be on for the afternoon? Can you provide us with an update before 10:30? As classes start at 1
Update is posted. No status change. Classes and educational activities are continuing as scheduled – mainly remote except for these https://www.ufv.ca/registration/important-updates/.
