Further to last night’s email addressing wellness supports on campus due to a concerning message found on campus referencing February 11, 2026, the University is now taking the next step to close the University on this date out of an abundance of caution.  

The University will be closed on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 and all classes and on-campus activities are cancelled. Any scheduled midterms will occur during the next regularly scheduled class.  

Residences will remain accessible with keys as normal and Jennings Dining Hall will remain open Tuesday and Wednesday until 8:30 p.m. with increased Security. Late-night will be cancelled Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Actions Taken 
The RCMP were notified as soon as the message was found.  
Increased patrols and Security presence on campus beginning today.  

Services Available 
The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff are our highest priorities.  
If you or someone you know are in crises, further support can be found on mta.ca: Counselling Services, the Students of Concern referral process. 

Employees can also access counselling supports through the University’s Employee Assistance Program, GreenShield+, at 1-844-880-9142. 

Safety and Security 
If you have more information regarding the situation, please contact Campus Security at 506-364-2228.  
If you feel unsafe or see something suspicious, please call 911 and contact Campus Security.  
Campus Security will continue to be present, and the situation will remain under review. We will share further updates of when campus will re-open.
