Winter Blizzard Update – Winnipeg Campuses to close at 5:00pm 

December 17, 2025

Due to the changing weather and road conditions across the province including high winds, blowing snow, poor visibility and highway closures, RRC Polytech will close all Winnipeg Campuses at 5:00pm today – Wednesday, December 17 – in the interest of the safety of the Polytech community.  

All evening classes and space rentals will be cancelled. 

We encourage you to use this time to arrange for safe transportation home from campus. 

If you live outside of the city or have safety concerns about travel, please work directly with your instructor or supervisor.  

RRC Polytech will continue to monitor the situation and will send additional updates about potential further closures for the Winnipeg campuses. Please check back for updates before attempting to come to campus on Thursday, December 18.
