She also provided insights on the federal government鈥檚 interactions with provincial and international governments, such as the negotiations that occurred to expand the new Safe Third Country Agreement.

Since we last wrote, we have made significant progress in identifying the extent of the remediation work that will be required in Moyse Hall. We can now confirm that the closure will extend through the summer. We are aiming to be able to reopen the spaces in time for the Fall 2024 semester but are not able to confirm yet whether this will be possible.

Based on the latest information received from our external service provider, we should be able to reopen auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building by Thursday morning, February 22, as announced last week.
This will be our last update, unless an unexpected issue arises that forces us to delay the reopening. Should this occur, we will inform you as soon as possible.
As we mentioned in our Feb. 14 message, samples of building materials were collected in the ceiling cavity of auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building earlier this week. We are glad to report that all samples tested negative for asbestos.
We have received some good news since we wrote to you last week about the closure of auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. The room had been closed due to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.
The air sample taken in the room shortly after the closure returned a result under the regulatory threshold for asbestos concentration and 海外直播b站鈥檚 more stringent threshold. Additionally, debris of a ceiling tile found in the room tested negative for asbestos.
On February 5, 2024, Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) closed access to auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. The closure is related to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.
FMAS is assessing the work required before we can reopen the classroom. This evaluation was complicated by the need to bring in scaffolding to access the ceiling. We hope to have a clearer picture of the work needed and the timeline to reopen in the coming days and will update you as soon as we do.
