Campus Alert System Error and Manitoba Hydro Exchange District Issue

May 15, 2024

We’re providing an update and clarity around the campus alert just issued, and to advise the college regarding a Manitoba Hydro Issue in Winnipeg’s Exchange District.

First, please disregard the alert. There are no issues at the Notre Dame Campus and we are operating normally. 

A system error in our campus alerting system generated the announcement and it was sent in error. 

We apologize for any stress or confusion that resulted from this system issue. 

Manitoba Hydro Issue in the Exchange District 

Manitoba Hydro is responding to an underground equipment fire that is impacting power in the downtown area. At this time there is no impact to business operations and we will keep you updated as needed.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
