Jul 2, 2021 | 3:07 PM

Red Deer Polytechnic is adjusting its operations as the province moves to stage three of the Open for Summer plan.

Stage three kicked off July 1, and it means RDP students, employees and guests are no longer required to wear masks. However, they are encouraged to wear them, as well as maintain physical distancing of two metres from others, when possible.

Individuals arriving at RDP each day are required to check-in using the SAFE RDC App, and maintain good hygiene practices.

The summer term begins July 5, with in-person, online and blended instruction.

A diverse range of summer camps and workshops for youth and adults also begin soon, with information at rdc.ab.ca/summercamps.
