Advice for Members in the Event of Inclement Weather (Snow)
Your Health and Safety Committee would like to remind you that in the event of heavy snow or icy conditions, please remember the following:

- Note the clearing of snow on the following UVic maps under https://www.uvic.ca/facilities/service/grounds/grounds%20services/index.php
- Remember to stay on main routes and stay visible. In the event of snow or icy conditions, please use front doors as back and side doors may not yet be cleared.
