An increasing number of Canadian universities are saying that classes this fall will primarily be online as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
McGill University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Ottawa and others have laid out broad plans for how they will handle the fall semester.
Post-secondary institutions across Canada were forced to close their campuses in March due to the COVID-19 health crisis, and rapidly shifted their classes online.
