TCSA Updates: COVID-19

To the members of the TCSA:

As of Friday, March 13, 2020, all in-person classes at Trent University (Peterborough and Durham campuses) have been suspended. The university plans to deliver all classes online or in other alternative means beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020. In addition to this, the university is cancelling all events until further notice. This is a preventative response to COVID-19. For more information and updates from the university, please refer to trentu.ca/coronavirus or you can email covid19info@trentu.ca with specific questions. 

In response to the university’s preventative measures, the TCSA will be making the following operations adjustments until further notice: 

All TCSA events have been cancelled and office hours will significantly reduce to the operating hours of 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday. 

Starting Saturday, March 14, the Trent Express East and West Bank buses will be operating on a 20-minute schedule, seven days a week. This schedule can be found on our website at the link: trentcentral.ca/transit or on your TCSA mobile app. There will be no late night Trent Express service starting Saturday, March 14th. Please follow Peterborough Transit on twitter (@ptbo_transit) to receive updates regarding transit. 

If you receive Direct2U prescriptions, we recommend for you to contact Alliance Pharmacy at 1 (877) 796-7979 to get your prescriptions delivered to an alternate location. If you still have prescriptions at our office, you can pick them up between our reduced hours of 12pm to 4pm Monday to Friday until further notice.

Further precautions are being taken by the TCSA regarding Elections and other services. More information will be shared on our social media and website as it becomes available.

The TCSA recognizes the level of concern around health and safety. Please refer to Trent University announcements and the Peterborough Public Health Unit for any updates and how to take further precautions. If you have any further questions on TCSA operations during this time, please reach out to us by email at operations@trentcentral.ca or call us at (705) 748-1000.

In Solidarity,
