Conestoga introduces four-day summer schedule at several campuses

Conestoga College has moved several of its campuses and buildings to a four-day week schedule for the summer. The college shared that its Brantford, Ingersoll, and Milton campuses, as well as select complexes on its Kitchener campus, will be closed one weekday each week. In a statement to CTV News, the college explained that the summer schedule will introduce flexibility to students, who may have summer jobs, while also creating operational efficiencies and supporting sustainability measures on campus. The Waterloo Record reports that the news comes as the college is in the process of other cost-saving measures, including consolidating some of its campuses and engaging in layoffs.
