CONNECTIONS

In response to the evolving situation with COVID-19, current CONNECTIONS program participants will continue to be supported through regular program staff. Future CONNECTIONS sessions are being postponed and we return to in-person classes when it is appropriate and safe to do so. Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented time. Your safety is important to us. Douglas College is following protocols from Provincial Health Authorities.
