Update #2 on Notre Dame Campus Power Outage: Classes cancelled for the afternoon at NDC only

September 17, 2024

The following update is being shared with all staff and students:

Power remains out at RRC Polytech’s Notre Dame Campus due to a Manitoba Hydro power outage issue affecting the surrounding areas. We have made the difficult decision to cancel afternoon classes as a result of this MB Hydro power issue.

We remain in contact with Manitoba Hydro for updates and they advised the resumption of power is longer than originally anticipated with return to power at approximately 1:00pm or later. We remain hopeful for the delivery of evening classes. We will provide an update to the College community at 3:00pm regarding the delivery of evening classes.

If you are currently on campus, we ask that you make arrangements to depart and work or study from an alternate location for the rest of the day. Please do not use the elevator and you need assistance or support, please visit the Security Services team in the C Building.

We recognize that this disruption is frustrating for students, staff and faculty and we appreciate your understanding as we provide updates as quickly as we can with the information Manitoba Hydro makes available to us.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

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.
