103rd Grey Cup on Campus: What to expect

November 26th, 2015

The UWSA welcomes the 103rd Grey Cup to campus and visitors to our city, and we look forward to the opportunity for students to participate in this national event. If students are participating in events on campus today and throughout the weekend, they should expect heightened security protocol around the campus.

Classes and campus life will continue as normal, but students should be prepared to see additional Security personnel, as well as some enhanced Security procedures, like bag checks upon entering Grey Cup events on campus grounds. These additional Security measures are directly related to the festivities on campus, and are temporary.

The 103rd Grey Cup festivities run Thursday, November 26 to Saturday, November 28. For more information about the events on campus, please visit uwinnipeg.ca

If you’re in a class that does have a test worth more than 20 %, or have questions/concerns about your courses, please contact the Vice-President Student Affairs at vpsa@theuwsa.ca
