Please be aware that on Saturday September 2, 2017 between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. approximately 4,800 students will move-in to the student residences on campus.  As such there will be higher than normal traffic volume and road closures in the immediate University of Guelph area. The Animal Health Laboratory will be open on this day and operating with its normal Saturday hours and staffing levels.  AHL clients arriving to campus should clearly state their purpose of attending the Animal Health Lab so they can be directed accordingly by Student Housing Volunteers. 

Thank you.
