Church Point (NS), January 13, 2021- Université Sainte-Anne is announcing that because of the ongoing pandemic, there will be no spring and summer immersion sessions in 2021. Students, teachers, and staff will have to wait at least another year to attend this much-anticipated program.

“It is a necessary but difficult decision. These sessions require a significant amount of planning and logistics and with all the uncertainty because of the pandemic, it is best to cancel. Our priorities remain the health and safety of our university community and to limit the spread of the virus.”

- Allister Surette, president and vice-chancellor of Université Sainte-Anne.

Registrations will be cancelled and full refunds of $275 will be sent out in the coming weeks to those that registered.
