The College has received official notice from the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, representing the 24 Colleges across the Province, of its intent to strike beginning September 1st.  Therefore, a strike could occur as early as September 1st with no further notice or anytime thereafter.  However, bargaining continues this week and next and we are hopeful there will be a settlement. We will keep the community informed through regular updates.  Our primary method of communicating will be the College’s website.
