The University of Waterloo released a statement on Thursday, March 12, 2020, suspending all non-vital or non-academic events, out of caution and concern for the rapidly changing COVID-19 virus. Unfortunately, this means that CS4U Day can no longer take place on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. For full details on the University’s statement, please see our Coronavirus Information webpage.
