Though Queen’s had announced it was planning two in-person Homecoming celebrations in October, Principal Patrick Deane cancelled those plans this morning.
“[W]e have made the difficult decision to cease any preparations for an in-person event this fall due to concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Homecoming 2021 will be entirely virtual,” Deane wrote in a statement.
The decision was made after consultations with the University’s healthcare partners, the City of Kingston, and Kingston Police, according to Deane.

“Late last month, the university informed its alumni volunteers and reunion classes about plans to host two Homecoming events in October,” Deane wrote. “Many of our alumni were hopeful that this year, they might be able to return to Kingston.”
