A Weather Warning<https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?ns9><http://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?ns9> is in effect for Kings County that calls for blizzard conditions with snow beginning overnight and into Tuesday.

This information below is located on the Department of Safety and Security website<http://security.acadiau.ca/campus-weather-related-events.html> for future reference.
Weather-Related Events and Emergencies on Campus
Acadia University's Emergency Response Team assesses and shares information to our campus community and the general public when there is a weather-related event or emergency situation with the potential to disrupt campus operations.
Decisions regarding campus operations during weather-related events are based on a protocol of careful monitoring of the Environment Canada Weather Office, Emergency Management Office for the Province of Nova Scotia, and RCMP advisories; as well as consultation with NS Department of Transportation, Town of Wolfville Public Works, and Physical Plant Services. Weather-related class cancellations and campus closures are at the discretion of the University's Senior Administration. Emergency situations on campus require timely decisions, which are coordinated by Acadia's Department of Safety and Security in consultation with Senior Administration.
Decisions are made and communicated as early as possible.
Guiding Principles
Acadia University shall use available resources and exercise good judgment to:
* Preserve and protect the health and safety of our campus community and visiting public.
* Minimize disruption of infrastructure and research to protect and preserve the academic experience and workplace environment.
* Ensure communication to students, faculty, staff, other members of the Acadia community, and the general public is a priority during a weather-related event or emergency situation.
* Ensure a timely return to normal operations following a weather-related event or emergency situation.
Student and Employee Responsibilities
Members of the Acadia campus community are urged to monitor forecasts and road conditions, check email accounts for Urgent-All-Acadia messages, call ahead to Acadia's Emergency Information Line, or call your campus voice mailbox for updates before making travel decisions. Individuals travelling to the campus are asked to leave themselves enough time to travel safely, drive for the conditions, and to use caution on campus when walking. Always assess conditions and decide if travel is safe for you. For individuals who choose not to travel, please communicate directly with your respective instructor, supervisor, or event organizer. Non-essential employees can utilize vacation days or make alternate arrangements with their supervisors.

Classes Cancelled
Students, faculty, and staff are not expected to come to campus when Acadia University cancels classes, labs, tutorials, tests, and exams. The University will provide access to the Vaughan Memorial Library (Circulation Desk), K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre, Acadia Athletics Complex, Acadia Students' Union Students' Centre and other campus facilities based on the ability to provide adequate staffing and cleared walkways and roads. Residence buildings and Wheelock Dining Hall will operate as usual.
University Campus Closed
When campus is closed, all facilities are closed and scheduled activities are cancelled (including external bookings). Only staff members deemed essential are required on campus during a campus closure as determined by operational needs in accordance with supervisory direction and policy. Residence buildings and Wheelock Dining Hall will operate as usual.
Special Events Cancelled
Where campus facilities have been rented for functions but Acadia has made the decision to close that facility or the campus, the University department responsible for booking the rental will notify the event organizer. The renter is responsible for communicating the cancellation to the participants.
