Toronto colleges, universities to include virtual and in-person classes this fall

On Thursday, Ross Romano, Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities, said that academic institutions are preparing for what he calls a hybrid model.

Schools must maximize the course content that is available virtually and that “courses that can be online, must be.”

“They must hope for the best and prepare for the worst. But we are preparing for a worst case scenario, which looks at a hybrid model,” Romano said.

He added that economic activity in the province at this point still has “a lot of question marks.”

But for classes that must have in-person attendance, like trade schools and graduate programs where labs are necessary, the government is working on a proposal to implement safe measures for students.

Romano said the proposal will then be reviewed by the Command Table and the Chief Medical Officer of Health.

Premier Doug Ford also congratulated universities and colleges for putting over 100,000 courses online in a short amount of time.

Some Ontario institutions have already released their tentative plans for returning to the academic school year in the fall.

In a new statement on their website, the wholesale company is urging shoppers to do their part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Costco Canada customers are asked to wear masks “at all times” when on the company’s premises, in accordance with new national guidelines.

In a notice on their website on May 21, the wholesale store explained, “Public health experts recommend the use of masks or face coverings in public settings.”

“To protect our members and employees, it is recommended that all Costco members and guests wear a mask or face covering that covers the mouth and nose, at all times while on Costco premises.

The company noted that this new request does not apply to children under the age of two, or to individuals who are unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition

Speaking on Wednesday, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Theresa Tam explained, “If you’re wearing it, you’re protecting other people against your droplets.”

Greece Is Reopening To Tourists This Summer

Update – Travel

International travel could be on the cards sooner than expected. This week, the prime minister of Greece announced that the country would be reopening to international tourists as early as July 1.

Air Canada is offering a number of flights to Greece this summer, although it’s important to remember that an active travel advisory remains in place.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis revealed that the southeastern European country would be reopening to tourists this summer, with plans to welcome international visitors as early as July 1, on Wednesday.

While the company’s website suggests there’s a temporary airport suspension in Athens, a representative from Air Canada has confirmed to Narcity that this is no longer the case.*

“We are planning a restart and intend to fly to Greece as of the end of June,” they added.

In addition, it’s worth noting that Canadian travellers are still currently required to quarantine when returning from abroad, so even if you don’t have to isolate upon arrival in Greece, you will when you return home!

In an attempt to boost potential tourism, Mitsotakis also announced that vacation costs would be lowered for all visitors for the next five months.

This means that boat, plane and bus tickets would be reduced, and taxes on coffee, soft drinks and tickets for open-air cinemas would be slashed.

The Nordic island announced plans to start easing international travel no later than June 15, and flights are already available from Canada.

Many Canadian airlines continue to suspend flights into the summer, some international carriers are preparing to restart operations ASAP.

In fact, Emirates are set to resume international flights to Toronto this week.
