BVC finally caved and moved classes online because they had no other choice but to listen to us. They fought us every step of the way but your pressure made this victory impossible for them to ignore. Now we watch them like hawks to ensure this transition happens exactly as …

Schools are a breeding ground for germs and although young adults are able to recover from the virus, the sentiment doesn’t hold truly for many Canadians who are vulnerable and susceptible to the critical and deadly outcomes.
Many students take buses and trains to school as it is the only option. The city of Calgary states that social distancing should be practiced whenever in public, which means at least a bikes lengths distance. It is safe to say that even in a “small” class of 35, this cannot be practiced.
Online classes would ensure that students can stay home while still continue educational work as normal, without the coming into contact with risks associated with the virus.

BVC administrators continue to ignore the clear danger their classrooms pose to the entire city. This momentum proves that students are tired of being treated like collateral damage while our health is put on the line for their convenience.

Please atleast temporarily suspend school! i have little children i do not want to risk compromising their health because of this when we are in a very busy part of downtown.
i do not feel safe going to school in these conditions! i have to ride the train everyday where i am pushed against other people and my family members are all very vulnerable and i can not risk going to school.
They keep sending emails saying safety is their top priority. If that were true they would be closing the college and hosting online classes like almost every other post secondary institution in the city. This needs to happen now. For the safety of students and their families
I'm an international student at BVC. I would like school to cancel because of the COVID19 is spreading out and it is really dangerous right now. My family in Vietnam is so worry and they don’t want me to go to school too. My school email address is: [email protected]
I believe making classes online will eradicate the spread of virus . School is a social place where students sit close to each other share benches touch door nobs , or even accidentally touch each other .
There needs to be consistency if there’s going to be victory!

I think it is highly irresponsible for the school to maintain open as students can not avoid each other. In fact, they will be in contact with each in the hallways, cafeteria and must of them take the C-train. Therefore, increasing the risk of exposure, not just the students at Bow Valley but other people they come in contact with.
