Masks now optional at Parkland College campuses, training locations

Posted on July 19, 2021 by n.katchuk

As of Monday, July 19, masks/face coverings are no longer mandatory at Parkland College campuses and training locations.

Staff, learners, and visitors may still wear a mask if they so choose, and the College will support that choice.

Although physical distancing is also not required, please allow for comfortable spacing and avoid crowding to help provide a gradual transition to the new normal.

Please note that broker institutions and/or community partners may not have the same protocols as Parkland College does. When visiting other organizations, staff and students are asked to comply with the host’s expectations.

Like other post-secondary institutions, Parkland College is committed to doing its part to fight the spread of COVID-19 and to help keep our communities safe. Vaccines are not mandatory at the College, but students, staff, and visitors are encouraged to get fully vaccinated to help Protect the Parkland.

As the summer progresses, Parkland College’s Safety Department will monitor campuses, collaborate with partner institutions, and follow case numbers in our region. The College will announce further changes and updates, if required, before the start of the 2021-22 academic year.

COVID-19 information and updates

Posted on July 12, 2021 by admin

The health and safety of our Parkland College community is our number one priority. Our programs and services continue with blended learning and work arrangements, where possible.

Parkland College remains committed to keeping our communities healthy, safe, and informed during this time. We are taking every precaution to protect the well-being of students, faculty, staff, and partners. For the most recent and accurate information on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), please visit official provincial, federal, and international websites:

Vaccines

Saskatchewan is working closely with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), which negotiates and procures vaccine directly with manufacturers on behalf of provinces and territories.

Information is publicly shared to let you know:

When it’s your turn to be vaccinated.
How to register for a vaccine appointment.
The different types of immunization clinics available.
How to find the closest clinics to you.

Additional details are available in the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Plan, and from the Government of Saskatchewan and the Government of Canada.

Protect The Parkland

Saskatchewan’s post-secondary institutions are united in doing our part to fight the spread of COVID-19 and to help keep our communities safe. Now, every one of us can do one more, simple thing: get vaccinated.

All approved COVID-19 vaccines are safe, proven, and effective ways to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

Parkland College, like other organizations, relies on a successful vaccine rollout to return to full campus activity in the fall. We are getting closer to this goal, and you can help us get there by getting fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Vaccines are not mandatory for students, staff, and others visiting our campuses. But we encourage you to do your part and help protect the Parkland.

Learning, Working & Visiting – Expectations for our Campuses

Parkland College is taking a conservative approach in its return-to-campus plan in order to best serve the college community.

Campus Expectations for July/August (or until further notice):

Mandatory Mask Use: Masks continue to be required indoors at all campus and training locations. Summer programs and courses will trial alternatives as we gradually work toward the removal of this requirement.
Physical Distancing: Physical distancing is no longer required, but every effort should be made to allow for comfortable spacing and the elimination of overcrowding.
Personal Hygiene: Follow proper hand hygiene and coughing/sneezing etiquette. Hand sanitizer will remain readily available in all our facilities.
Cleaning & Disinfecting: High traffic and commonly touched surfaces will continue to be cleaned and disinfected at regular intervals.
Common Areas: Common lunch, study, and gathering areas will gradually re-open. Shared spaces may have limited hours to allow for adequate cleaning.
Employee, Learner & Visitor Health: Stay home if you are ill and let your supervisor or instructor know. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, stay home and arrange for a COVID-19 test.

Parkland College lifts many COVID-19 restrictions, but masks remain mandatory

Posted on July 12, 2021 by n.katchuk

On Sunday, July 11, the Government of Saskatchewan lifted all COVID-19 public health restrictions across the province. However, Parkland College is taking a conservative approach in its return-to-campus plan in order to best serve the college community.

Masks must still be worn indoors at all Parkland College campus and training locations. Summer programs and courses will trial alternatives as the College gradually works toward the removal of this requirement.

Physical distancing is no longer required at the College, but efforts will be made to create comfortable spacing and avoid overcrowding.

Enhanced cleaning and disinfecting will continue in high traffic areas, and common spaces (such as student lounges, study areas, lunch rooms, etc.) will gradually re-open.

Hand sanitizer will remain readily available at all locations. Staff and students are asked to follow proper hand hygiene and coughing/sneezing etiquette, and to stay home if they are not feeling well.

And the College encourages all students, staff, and visitors to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Parkland College, like other organizations, relies on a successful vaccine rollout to return to full campus activity in the fall. We are getting closer to this goal, and you can help us get there by getting fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

President’s Statement regarding Cowessess First Nation discovery

Posted on June 25, 2021 by n.katchuk

I would like to acknowledge the sorrowful circumstances related to the finding of 215 unmarked graves of Indigenous children on the Kamloops Residential School property, and Thursday’s announcement of 751 unmarked graves discovered on Cowessess First Nation.

Parkland College and Cumberland College rise and stand together in sorrow with our Indigenous communities. Bobbi Gray, our Coalition Chief Foundational Skills and Learner Services, which includes the responsibility for Indigenous Engagement, has crafted a message that I would like to share with you.

Tansi,

Today, the world came to a halt and wrapped themselves around the community of Cowessess First Nation as Chief Cadmus Delorme released the findings of the Marieval Indian Residential School scope. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the community of Cowessess and all who are impacted by the shocking and horrific findings of 751 unmarked graves.

As similar discoveries are uncovered at residential school sites, it is with a heavy heart as the Coalition Chief Officer responsible for Indigenous Engagement and Inclusion that I send out messages of support to those who are affected by the impacts of this dark time in our history. On behalf of our President, Executives, Managers and Indigenous Engagement committees, we encourage staff to reach out for support via our EFAP program, as needed. Additional resources can be found on our websites and are included below for quick reference.

– Support is available for anyone affected by their experience at residential schools, and those who are triggered by the latest reports.
– A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for survivors and those affected. People can access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1-866-925-4419.

Ekosi.

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation,

Bobbi Gray, B.Ed., M.Ed.

Thank you, Bobbi, for sharing this message us.

I would also like to share a sober and gracious quote from the Cowessess First Nation’s Chief Cadmus Delorme:

“We all inherited this. Nobody today created Residential Schools. Nobody today created the Indian Act. Nobody today created the ’60s Scoop. We all inherited it and we have to acknowledge that people are healing and people are hurting. Let’s do something about it.”

Today we stand with our Indigenous partners and re-commit ourselves to working together for the betterment of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, staff, and communities.

With sorrow and hope,

J. Mark A. Hoddenbagh, Ph.D., PSGov
President & CEO
Cumberland College & Parkland College

Parkland, Cumberland, Great Plains announce International Recruitment partnership

Posted on May 18, 2021 by admin

Great Plains, Cumberland, and Parkland Colleges have established an International Recruitment and Admissions partnership heading into the 2021-22 academic year. A two-year pilot project in which one individual will recruit for all three organizations solely on the international file will begin in October 2021.

“We are very excited to see this partnership and pilot project come to fruition,” exclaimed Great Plains College president and CEO David Keast. “The partnership will allow us to build off of our foundational knowledge and collective expertise and will help mitigate the risks of international recruitment, in terms of mobility and costs, going forward.”

The two-year pilot will enable the colleges to become more independent in terms of reliance on external agencies for student recruitment and efficiencies including, but not limited to, cost savings.

“This is a cost-effective approach to international recruitment and admissions for the college system,” said Cumberland and Parkland College’s president and CEO Mark Hoddenbagh. “It has the potential to build a foundation for further college partnerships after the pilot period and truly benefit our local economies.”

Great Plains and Cumberland Colleges have been accepting international students since 2015 and Parkland has been doing so since 2014. Learn more about the programs accepting international students at Parkland College, Cumberland College, and Great Plains College.

Virtual grad ceremony set for June 16

For more detailed information, please visit our Graduation webpage.

Successful virtual Office Admin program concludes

Posted on May 6, 2021 by admin

Office Administration students are done for the year, capping a successful Parkland College-Cumberland College Coalition pilot project.

The one-year Office Administration certificate was the first program delivered jointly by two regional colleges in Saskatchewan. Administration costs were shared between Parkland and Cumberland, and classes were conducted entirely online through Brightspace and WebEx platforms.

The decision to deliver the program jointly and online was made in part due to COVID-19 restrictions and the colleges’ Blended Learning approach.

“I didn’t really understand what it meant, but it’s actually a very cool thing,” one student said about the unique program experience. “I’m glad I got to be a part of it.”

In a learner survey, 100% of students felt they were treated equally as their classmates from the other college, and 92% said they would recommend this program to others.

“I thought it was pretty neat,” another student said. “It’s nice to get the opportunity to work with people from all over the province, especially during lockdown.”

Jenna Niebergall, Chair of Post-Secondary Education at Parkland College, attributes the program’s success mainly to the adaptable and patient instructors who were up for the challenge of teaching a fully online course under difficult circumstances.

On the heels of this year’s success, Office Administration will again be offered jointly by the two colleges online in the 2021-2022 academic year.

Parkland College & Cumberland College planning for safe return to campus this fall

Posted on May 5, 2021 by n.katchuk

Parkland College and Cumberland College are developing plans for a safe return to face-to-face learning for Fall 2021 programs.

As more people in the province get the COVID-19 vaccine, the Ministry of Health and the Chief Medical Health Officer are supporting the Saskatchewan post-secondary sector’s plans for a return to more in-person instruction. However, institutions are prepared to adjust plans and timelines at any point as the pandemic evolves.

The Parkland-Cumberland Coalition delivered classes in the 2020-2021 year through Blended Learning, a mix of online, face-to-face, and alternative programming. In-person learning, including hands-on labs and shop time, was conducted with health and safety precautions in place.

“We learned a lot this year, and we admire our students and staff for being resilient and achieving their goals in these challenging times,” said President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh. “While our plan is to get back to on-campus instruction, Blended Learning will continue to be a key part of our institutions, providing flexibility and fostering innovation as we serve learners across our region.”

The health and safety of students and staff remains the top priority as fall plans are developed. The colleges will continue to follow public health orders, working with the Ministry of Advanced Education and the Ministry of Health to ensure that necessary protections are in place to keep people safe.

Students are encouraged to monitor the colleges’ websites for additional details about their specific program and classes. Details will be communicated to students as 2021-2022 programming decisions are finalized.

Parkland College, ATAP sign water training agreement

Posted on March 22, 2021 by n.katchuk

Water and wastewater operators play an integral role in the maintenance of a clean water supply supporting the health and wellbeing of our communities. Parkland College and ATAP Infrastructure Management Ltd. are joining forces to ensure communities have access to the training they need to keep their water supplies safe and secure.

Parkland and ATAP have signed a partnership agreement to provide training in Class 1 Water and Wastewater Operator courses in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The courses will be delivered through a blended model which provides flexibility in scheduling and location of training. Courses can be offered in person, remotely, or a combination of the two.

“This agreement is a great opportunity for the College and the communities we serve,” said Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, President and CEO of Parkland College. “Blended Learning will make it easier for communities and municipalities to access this important training and benefit from ATAP’s expertise.”

ATAP brings to the partnership extensive engineering knowledge, an established curriculum, and expert instructors. The College provides a learning management system, instructional design experience, and IT support. Both organizations also have connections to partners throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

“Over the past 20 years, ATAP has instructed certification courses and CEU workshops to thousands of operators across the Prairies,” said ATAP Manager Andrew Stevenson. “Our experience, from performing the same hands-on services onsite daily that we teach about, allows our instructors to transfer that real-life knowledge back to the students. We are excited to be partnering with a premier organization in Parkland College.”

The training is expected to launch in the fall of 2021. It will be made up of preparatory courses in water treatment, water distribution, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection.

There is high demand for this type of training. Many towns, First Nation communities, and municipalities have identified needs in the area of water stewardship. Organizations interested in this training are invited to submit requests in advance.

About Parkland College:
Parkland College provides high quality, learner centred education and training as a foundation for lifelong success. The College offers a superior learning and campus experience for all students through quality programming and services. Students can get started on their careers by completing university classes, full degrees, and skills training and trades certificates.

Parkland College announces Farm Hand training course

Posted on March 8, 2021 by n.katchuk

Parkland College announced Monday the launch of Introduction to Farm Hand, a new program developed to meet the labour needs of growing farm operations.

Introduction to Farm Hand is a short course that provides the basic skills and hands-on training needed to work on a grain farm in Saskatchewan. The first course module, beginning April 17, focuses on seeding and the busy spring season.

“This program is designed to meet the need for more skilled labour on Saskatchewan’s farms,” said Connie Brown, Manager of Business Development at Parkland College. “Farmers can send current or potential employees through the program to develop their skills. And it gives general labourers without a farm background the opportunity to gain the experience needed to work in agriculture.”

Participants will receive a blend of classroom instruction and hands-on experience over three Saturdays: April 17, April 24, and May 1. The Town of Lemberg is partnering with the College to host the training, at the town office and at a nearby farm.

The course provides an overview of field crops, Power Mobile Equipment theory, and hands-on training with selected pieces of farm equipment. Participants will also learn about basic farm safety and moving equipment safely around work sites.

Interested individuals can register or get more information by calling 306.786.2760.

Parkland College-Cumberland College Coalition launches new strategic plan

Posted on March 1, 2021 by admin

The Parkland College-Cumberland College Coalition officially launched its new five-year Strategic Plan today in an online event.

The 2020-2025 Strategic Plan is titled Stronger Together (PDF, 326 KB). The planning process began more than a year ago with public consultations in 16 communities across east-central and northeast Saskatchewan. It also incorporated feedback from learners, staff, employers, and the colleges’ Boards of Governors.

The plan defines a purpose for the Coalition of providing education and training to address regional labour market needs, preparing learners for employment and further education, and supporting the sustainable social, environmental, and economic development of employers and communities. It introduces a shared vision and mission, as well as seven key values. Four strategic pillars stand on this foundation, accompanied by a set of goals and objectives to guide the Coalition’s efforts and measure its success.

“This launch is a celebration of our two regional colleges and their collaboration to create a visionary plan that sets the direction for the Coalition,” said President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh. “It is bold, innovative, and will help us increase our positive impact in our communities.”

The plan introduces the concept of the “E-Shaped Learner.” While the colleges excel at developing technical skills, this model supplements them with entrepreneurial, electronic literacy, and employability skills.

Saskatchewan’s Advanced Education Minister Gene Makowsky and Colleges and Institutes of Canada (CICan) President & CEO Denise Amyot provided messages of support during the launch.

“I think the title of the plan, Stronger Together, is more relevant today than likely ever before,” Makowsky said. “The Coalition’s contributions are making positive and sustainable impacts and enriching the lives of students and local communities.”

“Your strategic plan is not just a matter of delivering credentials,” Amyot noted, “but it is a holistic, ongoing approach that involves learners, faculty, employers, Indigenous peoples, and a host of community and government partners.”

With the recent two-year extension of the initial two-year pilot, the Coalition is well positioned to implement the initiatives outlined in the plan, focusing on positive outcomes for the colleges’ students, regions, and employers. The full Strategic Plan may be accessed at the About Us section of our website.

Social media campaign: What are you #LookingForwardTo?

Posted on February 8, 2021 by n.katchuk

In the midst of COVID-19, and in the middle of winter, it can be difficult to visualize better times ahead. But in a time of stress, it can help to think optimistically about the future.

With that in mind, the Parkland College-Cumberland College Coalition is introducing the #LookingForwardTo campaign on the colleges’ social media channels. Students, staff, and followers are encouraged to comment on these posts, or share pictures or GIFs, to illustrate their own personal hopes and expectations once restrictions loosen and the pandemic is over.

You can also tag your friends to see what they’re #LookingForwardTo once COVID-19 is history.

Although we can’t ignore the challenges and severe consequences we are facing right now, sharing messages of hope and optimism can help us get through it all together.

Special thanks to Brandon University for the inspiration.

As of Monday, November 16, staff, students, and visitors will be required to wear masks at all Parkland College campuses and training sites, at all times, to help limit the spread of COVID-19.

This is an expansion of existing protocols, as masks have been required at Parkland College since late August.

Starting on Monday, masks will be mandatory in all areas, even when physical distancing of two metres is maintained. This applies to all individuals inside the classroom (students as well as instructors). Staff, students, and visitors are expected to arrive on campus with their own mask.

Blended Learning

Posted on November 1, 2020 by n.katchuk

At Parkland College, we are delivering classes in the 2020-21 year through Blended Learning. We are coordinating with post-secondary institutions across Saskatchewan on this hybrid approach to education.

What is Blended Learning anyway?

Blended Learning refers to a mix of online instruction, face-to-face classes, experiential learning, and alternative delivery methods.

Online instruction may occur through a combination of synchronous (occurring at the same time) and asynchronous (not occurring at the same time) delivery methods. This may include scheduled video conferencing, live webcasts, and recorded lectures, modules, assignments, and other exercises accessible when it is convenient for you.

Face-to-face classes may be required for programs with substantial hands-on learning components which are not easily replicated in a virtual environment. In-person classes may also be scheduled if student enrollment and classroom sizes meet physical distancing requirements. As well, programs may be divided into cohorts with separate class schedules to allow students to attend face-to-face classes.

Experiential learning provides learners with opportunities to apply their knowledge and practice their skills in real-life situations, such as a clinical placement in a health care facility or work placement with a local company.

Alternative delivery methods, such as paper packages including instructions and assignments, may be considered where required.

How will this affect my program?

Each program will be affected differently, based on a number of factors:

necessity of face-to-face instruction (e.g. hands-on labs and shop time required to complete a program);
needs of students (e.g. lack of Internet access/unreliable connections off-campus);
availability of space at our campuses;
physical distancing guidelines and building capacity limits; and
any other restrictions imposed by the government as the pandemic evolves.

Some programs are delivered online more easily than others. Program planning is underway, and specific guidelines will be communicated with students as the fall term approaches.

Why is the College using Blended Learning rather than all-online or exclusively face-to-face instruction?

Blended Learning gives us the flexibility to deliver programs while managing risks associated with COVID-19. Our top priority is to protect the health and safety of students and staff. In the event of a resurgence of the virus in our region or province, we will be better positioned to transition to online-only instruction. But we recognize that many of our programs contain a substantial amount of in-person and hands-on learning, so we want to ensure students receive the highest quality education possible given the current circumstances.

A second reason for moving to Blended Learning is that you will likely experience blended working environments in the workforce. Many organizations are highly digital and it is imperative that our graduates are comfortable with technology. Also, many employers support employee development by providing access to training which can be delivered in face-to-face, blended, or fully online modalities. It is important that you have the skills to learn in all of these environments.

A third reason is that employers typically desire graduates with practical work experience, which is gained through experiential learning. Parkland offers experiential learning opportunities in a number of programs and is working to expand this to other programs.

Parkland College will continue to adhere to public health guidelines as delivered by the Government of Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Officer. Again, our priority, at all levels of the education system, is the health and safety of students and staff. We are prepared to adjust our plan and timelines at any point as the pandemic evolves.

Survey seeks student feedback on COVID response

Posted on October 28, 2020 by n.katchuk

Parkland College is looking for feedback from students on how the College handled the COVID-19 crisis and the subsequent transition to Blended Learning.

The College has launched a survey to gauge how students are managing a very different educational experience this year.

Feedback is anonymous. Students who submit a response will be prompted to complete a separate optional survey which will enter them into a prize draw.

Responses will be accepted until Nov. 12, 2020.

Thanksgiving hampers help students

Posted on October 9, 2020 by n.katchuk

Thanks to cash donations from Parkland College staff, and generous contributions from several businesses in Yorkton, more than 60 students from throughout the region are receiving a food hamper just in time for Thanksgiving.

Over the past week, students were able to be nominated to receive a hamper filled with food items such as canned vegetables, soup, pasta, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. Sixty-five students from Yorkton, Melville, Kamsack, and Fort Qu’Appelle received a hamper for the holiday.

Legacy Co-op in Yorkton provided reusable bags and a $500 gift card to spend on food. Save-On-Foods, Superstore, Giant Tiger, and Canadian Tire also donated gift cards and supplies to help with this giveaway.

(Clockwise from bottom left) Counsellors Taylor McDill, Stacey Minken, Sophia Thomas, and Social Work practicum student Amanda Hall organized the donations and prepared the hampers for socially distanced pick-up and delivery.

“Parkland College is grateful for the support,” said President & CEO Mark Hoddenbagh. “It’s a terrific example of the community coming together, especially in these challenging times.”

Career Explorations 2020 cancelled

Posted on October 8, 2020 by n.katchuk

Parkland College, Good Spirit School Division, and Christ The Teacher Catholic Schools have cancelled the Career Explorations education and job fair for 2020 due to COVID-19.

Public gatherings in Saskatchewan are currently limited to 30 people and physical distancing guidelines remain in effect. Every November, upwards of 2,000 students from Yorkton and area travel to the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton to attend Career Explorations. The event attracts up to 100 exhibitors from across Saskatchewan and Western Canada to meet these students.

“We began tentative planning in the spring, but it is now clear that hosting Career Explorations is not possible this fall,” said lead organizer Brendan Wagner of Parkland College. “We have been monitoring the COVID situation through the summer and we are continuing to follow the recommendations of public health officials, which unfortunately means that this event is not feasible this year.”

The organizing committee will examine potential options for online or virtual events during the 2020-21 academic year.

“Career Explorations is a terrific opportunity for students to learn about the many post-secondary and career options awaiting them. We will work with the school divisions to look at other ways of delivering this valuable event,” Wagner said.

Special quilts unveiled for Orange Shirt Day

Posted on September 30, 2020 by n.katchuk

In 2019, many Parkland College students participated in an Orange Shirt Day project in which they depicted what reconciliation means to them by decorating squares of orange fabric.

On September 30, 2020 — Orange Shirt Day — the College unveiled quilts made out of those squares. The unique blankets are now on display at campuses in Yorkton, Melville, Fort Qu’Appelle, and Kamsack.

The College thanks the following quilters for donating their time by piecing together the squares, and framing and backing the blankets:

Carol White (Melville)
Ruth Erickson (Fort Qu’Appelle)
Lynda Cherwenuk and Colleen Koroluk, Heart & Home Quilt Club (Kamsack)
Barb Ferrier and Delores Pilipow of Innovative Quilting in Melville (Yorkton)

Special thanks to Ferrier and Pilipow for working on the very large (8 feet by 9 feet) blanket on display at the Main Campus, and to Pilipow for donating the material for the backing and the quilt batting.

The College is grateful for the contribution of these community members who were so willing to donate their time and talents in the spirit of reconciliation.

Parkland College receives federal grant for mental health supports and tutorials

Posted on September 14, 2020 by n.katchuk

The Yorkton & District Community Foundation (YDCF) has awarded a grant of almost $8,000 to Parkland College to help fund mental health supports and tutorials for the new academic year.

The YDCF is responsible for delivering the federal government’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) in Yorkton and surrounding communities. The fund is aimed at helping community groups to serve vulnerable Canadians during the COVID-19 crisis.

Through the ECSF, $75,000 was made available to assist charities and qualifying recipients in the Yorkton area. Grants were also awarded to SaskAbilities, Boys & Girls Club of Yorkton, SIGN (Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours), and Rail City Industries in Melville.

Parkland College to re-open to students & public on August 31

Parkland College campuses will re-open to learners and the public on Monday, August 31. This marks the fourth and final phase of the College’s re-opening plan and is the result of months of preparation for a healthy and safe return to in-person programming.

“We are ready to open our campuses,” said President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh. “Our staff have worked incredibly hard over the summer to prepare our facilities to be compliant with COVID-19 guidelines. We have also devoted considerable effort to developing online programming and training our instructors to deliver curriculum online, in order to enrich the educational experience of our learners.”

Parkland College is delivering classes this fall through Blended Learning – a mix of online instruction, face-to-face classes, experiential learning, and alternative delivery methods. Blended Learning gives the College the flexibility to provide instruction while managing risks associated with COVID-19. All programs will have an online component to help limit the number of people on campus.

All visitors, students, and staff are required to wear masks. They are mandatory in hallways, bathrooms, common areas, and any space where physical distancing of two metres cannot be maintained.

Campus access tracking is an essential part of the College’s safety protocols. Members of the public accessing College sites are required to complete a brief health questionnaire and sign in on a visitor log.

Additional safety precautions are in place, including plexiglass shields at reception areas, extra hand sanitizer stations, and frequent cleaning and sanitizing schedules. Some common areas are off-limits or have restricted access, while decals have been placed on floors and signs on walls to help control traffic flow and aid in physical distancing.

“Our shared priority, at all levels of the education system, is the health and safety of students and staff,” Hoddenbagh added. “We are glad to be opening, but we remain ready to adapt at any point as the pandemic evolves.”

May 22, 2020 – Message from President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh

Dear Students:

Parkland College and Cumberland College, working closely together in a Coalition, intend to deliver classes this fall through a blend of face-to-face and online learning. We are coordinating with post-secondary institutions across Saskatchewan on this hybrid approach to education.

The blended model follows the guidance of the provincial government’s Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan. Educators believe a combination of in-person classes and online instruction will give you, our students, the best chance of academic success in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The common staged re-opening and blended model will combine online, classroom, laboratory, shop, clinical, and physical instruction. The concept provides the programming flexibility needed to manage the risks of the pandemic while ensuring the continued health and safety of students, faculty, and staff.

Since the pandemic began, Saskatchewan’s post-secondary sector has worked together to keep students and staff safe, and to establish guidelines and protocols for fall programming. We will continue to adhere to public health guidelines as delivered by the Government of Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Officer.

I believe this is fantastic news for our students and staff. The opportunity to deliver high-quality instruction in both face-to-face and alternative formats will enable us to provide you with superb hands-on learning, while also preparing you for the worlds of online learning and work.

Our preparations for the fall include focusing on providing a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff. As we move forward, we are prepared to adjust our plan and timelines at any point as the pandemic evolves.

I encourage you to monitor our website for additional details about specific programs and classes. We will communicate more details with you as we finalize programming decisions.

All the best,

J. Mark A. Hoddenbagh, Ph.D.
President & CEO, Parkland College

April 23, 2020 – Message from President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh

Dear Students:

I hope you are all keeping well and doing the best you can to continue with your studies. The COVID-19 pandemic has been disruptive to our College and our students, staff, and communities. Our hearts also go out to our fellow Canadians in Nova Scotia as we think of the pain they are suffering due to the tragic events that happened this past weekend.

We are continuing to work closely with the Government of Saskatchewan and our partners on monitoring the pandemic and its impacts on the College. The government has released a plan to gradually re-open our economy, businesses, services, and institutions. We will provide further updates as our path forward becomes clearer.

There was some good news from the federal government Wednesday in the form of a $9 billion aid package for post-secondary students. Click here to see the full federal announcement on student supports. Please check this program to see if you are eligible for support at this time or over the summer.

I am also pleased to let you know that we have been working with the provincial government on developing an emergency bursary program for Parkland College students. Details of this program will be released next week.

Meanwhile, the federal government is seeking feedback from students on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting them. This voluntary survey will provide data to the government to help them respond to the needs of students at this time.

Thank you again for your patience. We are all looking forward to the re-opening of our campuses, meeting with our colleagues, and being able to have our valued students with us.

Please continue to practice physical distancing, wash your hands regularly, keep at your studies, monitor your mental health, and be sure to connect digitally with family, friends, instructors, and fellow students.

All the best,

J. Mark A. Hoddenbagh, Ph.D.
President & CEO, Parkland College

April 3, 2020 – Message from President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh

Dear Students:

I want to thank you, our valued students, for your cooperation, patience, and dedication during this difficult time. I’m confident that, like College staff, you are all doing your part to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The Government of Saskatchewan has extended its state of emergency for an additional two weeks, to April 15, as it can only declare a state of emergency for two weeks by provincial legislation. However, all indications at this time are that the state of emergency could last until the summer, and potentially longer. At this time it is impossible to determine when the state of emergency will be lifted, so College campuses will remain closed to students, the public, and most staff until further notice.

We are monitoring the situation and adjusting our pandemic response accordingly. We will continue to follow the advice of the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, our academic partners, and the provincial government regarding campus closures.

Our programs continue to be delivered through online instruction or alternate delivery methods. Specific information related to your program will be communicated to you by program staff and by our academic partners. Please note that programming decisions made by the College may be different from those of academic partners.

Since shop time and labs cannot be done online, this component is postponed while theory is delivered online. The practical hands-on experience will be rescheduled when the government advises it is safe to do so.

Parkland College expects students to act in ways that reflect our values of respect, integrity, excellence, and sustainability. Students are encouraged to review their student manual regarding student responsibilities and respectful learning environments. A lack of awareness will not excuse misconduct, so knowing what’s expected — and how Parkland College addresses issues if they arise — will help students to understand their rights and responsibilities. WebEx meetings and other video conferencing tools are being used daily for Parkland College to meet and connect with students. It is important to be respectful of everyone attending these virtual meetings. Do not take photos or video of any virtual meeting to share online.

As previously announced, Parkland College’s 2020 Graduation Ceremony has been postponed until further notice. We intend to reschedule this important event once public gatherings are permitted.

In the meantime, please continue to follow federal and provincial public health orders. Practice physical distancing, wash your hands frequently, and stay home as much as possible.

And please be sure to take care of your mental health. Reach out regularly to your friends and family – by phone or online. As well, our counselling team is here to assist you. You can contact our counsellors during regular work hours by email, phone, or online. Mental health supports can also be accessed through the following links.

March 24, 2020 – Message from President & CEO Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh

With the deepest of gratitude that words cannot adequately express, I would like to thank each and every one of our staff who stepped up and worked so diligently to move from face-to-face to online or other forms of curriculum delivery in less than one week! And also, for quickly and efficiently moving to working from home. Planning and executing these two major moves were Herculean efforts.

The Next Two Weeks

For two weeks most of our staff will work from home, except for some essential services. I have returned safely to Manitoba so that I can be with my family at this stressful time.

We will continue communicating about College-wide issues on a regular basis through email and our website. Academic program information will be communicated to students by program staff.

Our brokers (i.e. U of S, U of R, Sask Polytech) are also sending messages to students. Students, please read these carefully, as other institutions’ messages may apply only to students at their campuses. Our staff will keep you up-to-date on information related to the program you are taking at Parkland College.

What Happens After these Two Weeks?

At this time, we do not know. We await direction from the provincial government and our partners. As the situation develops in Canada and Saskatchewan, we will keep apprised of the latest developments and communicate relevant information to our students and staff.

Reminders

There are many workers in our nation who are diligently employed keeping essential services running, such as health care, electricity, gas, groceries, and day care for essential workers. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers and thank them for their extraordinary service.

Practice social (or physical) distancing, wash your hands thoroughly, self-isolate if you are returning from outside the country or have been in contact with someone who may have the virus, and do what you can to help stop the transmission of the coronavirus.

And of course, please regularly review COVID-19 updates provided on the Government of Saskatchewan’s website.

President & CEO, Parkland College

March 20, 2020 – Message to Students

On Wednesday, March 18, the Government of Saskatchewan declared a provincial State of Emergency due to COVID-19. Parkland College remains committed to keeping our communities healthy, safe, and informed during this time. We are taking every precaution to protect the well-being of students, faculty, staff, and partners.

Therefore, Parkland College campuses are now closed to students and the public until Sunday, April 5. However, Parkland College’s core services to support our students are continuing uninterrupted.

The Ministry of Advanced Education has given us the directive to transition to online or alternative delivery methods to provide a way for students to complete their programs during this pandemic. Face to face instruction will NOT be permitted until further notice.

Shop Time

Since shop time cannot be done online, this component will be postponed while theory is delivered online. This practical hands-on experience will be rescheduled when the government advises it is safe to do so.

Final Exams

How final exams will be administered has yet to be determined. More information on this will follow as the term progresses.

Lockers

We will be arranging times by program areas for students to pick up the contents from their lockers on Monday, March 23. Please come when you are assigned. Staff will be allowing students in with limited access to the building, adhering to recommended health precautions.

Counselling Services

Student counselling will continue to be available to you by email, phone, or online. Your counsellors will be connecting with you regularly and you can still contact them during regular work hours.

Please Note: Program specific information will be emailed by program coordinators.

We know COVID-19 is causing unusual and challenging times. Thank you for your patience, cooperation and the care you’ve demonstrated for yourselves and others in our community. We all can help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 if we each do our part and work together.

Stay safe and healthy. Good luck in continuing your studies.

March 19, 2020

Parkland College campuses will close to most staff, students, and the public as of 5:00 p.m. today, March 19. All staff working on campus will be sent home today by 5:00 p.m. In harmony with the Ministry of Advanced Education and other provincial post-secondary institutions across the province, Parkland College staff are to work remotely, with the exception of essential staff.

Campuses will be open only to staff who are providing critical services (i.e. Technology, Facilities, Finance) and faculty or administration staff who are needed to support online instruction.

Updated class and work schedule:

March 17-20: In-person classes are suspended.

March 23: Online courses will begin.

The COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving. This plan is in place through April 3; however, changes may occur.

Click here to learn more about Saskatchewan’s provincial State of Emergency.

March 18, 2020

Parkland College continues to follow COVID-19 guidelines from both the province and the federal government. These guidelines are updated frequently in response to the rapidly evolving situation, and our approach in this situation will change as well. All measures Parkland College takes are to help flatten the curve of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of our campuses and communities.

External Exams

Public sittings for external exams have been suspended and are not being scheduled at this time. Individuals who were scheduled to write exams at Parkland College have been notified. Public sittings will be reviewed as the situation evolves.

March 16, 2020 @ 8:30 PM

In partnership with the province’s other post-secondary educational institutions, Saskatchewan Regional Colleges are suspending all classes and programming for the remainder of this week.

In an effort to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, Regional College programs will be offered online or through alternative delivery options where possible, effective March 23.

We appreciate that this is challenging time for students, faculty, and staff. We will continue to share information as soon as it becomes available. Please monitor this page for more details.

A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT & CEO DR. MARK HODDENBAGH

Parkland College is taking measures to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 on our campuses and in the community to minimize any potential impact on our students, faculty, and employees.

Our management team has been working with public health officials and our partners to monitor the situation. Our focus is on the health and safety of our entire campus community.

As the situation is rapidly changing, please monitor our website for the most current information.

Classes / Closing Parkland College

Effective Friday, March 20, all Parkland College campuses will be closed to students and members of the public. Campuses will be open only to staff who are providing critical services or supporting online instruction.

Working from Home

In partnership with the Ministry of Advanced Education, Parkland College staff are to work remotely, wherever possible. All staff will be paid regular wages during this time.

Illness and / or Quarantine

The College has no authority – nor is it currently recommended by health authorities – to mandate quarantine or self-isolation; however, we are asking anyone who is ill to stay at home.

Events

Non-essential College sponsored events will be cancelled or postponed until further notice.

Travel

Regular in-province travel to conduct business operations may continue. We encourage staff to seek alternatives to meeting face-to-face, such as using technology or videoconferencing. All out-of-province travel must be approved by Human Resources in advance. Currently approved out-of-province travel must be reviewed by Human Resources and may be cancelled if warranted. No College-funded travel is allowed to areas with travel advisories.

Protecting Yourself and Others

The College has implemented enhanced preventative measures including ensuring adequate supplies of cleaning and essential products and implementing stronger protocols/procedures for disinfecting and cleaning. We are conducting additional cleaning of common surfaces areas as required.

Posters are located at all campus locations detailing personal hygiene steps, as well as COVID-19 symptoms to watch for.

The best thing our students and staff can do right now is practice good hygiene to reduce the risk of infection such as:

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Sneeze into your sleeve or elbow and throw away soiled tissues as soon as possible, followed by hand washing
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth
Stay home if you are sick
Avoid contact with people who are sick

Please call Public Health 811 to receive advice about self-isolating.

Communications

We will continue to urge our students and employees to follow all health and safety protocols. We will update this website with new information as it becomes available. Questions should be directed to Malena Vroom, Health & Safety Manager, at [email protected].

In Conclusion

None of the above mentioned plans or actions are taken lightly. We are basing our planning and response on the guidelines and recommendations of government and medical officials with the expertise required to manage health issues such as COVID-19. We will continue to monitor the situation, put our plans into action, and provide updates as the situation changes. We are assessing our critical services to ensure minimum disruption as possible.

We know this is a challenging and stressful time, but please rest assured that our planning and response is done with the health and safety of our campus community as our top priority. Please join with me in working together to play a part in keeping ourselves and our community as healthy as possible.
