WATERLOO --
On the back of the provincial announcement that universities and colleges should prepare for a mostly normal fall, post-secondary institutions in Waterloo Region are working to finalize plans for a post-pandemic semester.
Local colleges and universities are looking to increase in-person attendance this September, but not by much.
"Probably we won't have more than I would say seven or eight thousand, not the 25,000, because I don't think we'll be able to meet public health guidelines," said Conestoga College president John Tibbits.
At Conestoga College, thousands of students have still been learning in-person, with hands-on training a necessity for many skilled trade classes.
