Re: Holiday Schedule 2019-20 and 2020-21 (PDAD&C #87)


In planning the University’s holiday schedule, we make every effort to provide a two-week closure in December, knowing how all of us appreciate the opportunity to have two full weeks. We also make every effort to match the closure schedule set out by the school boards of the Greater Toronto Area.

Due to academic programming conflicts, including exam timetables, we were unable to schedule a two-week break for 2020-21. We do want to remind everyone that this does not preclude employees (in particular, colleagues with children who will be on school holiday) from requesting to use existing vacation entitlement.

However, this year we had the opportunity to provide three Presidential holidays in the 2020-21 Holiday Schedule; one has been added to the Victoria Day long weekend and two have been added to the Canada Day long weekend.
