Asbestos update
We are happy to be able, finally, to report good news on the asbestos test results.  After surmounting the obstacles the College put in place in order for us to obtain copies of the  air quality test results that were done for the renovations in A-500, which involved asbestos, we have now received the analysis of them by our air-quality specialist at the CSN. The results of the tests that were done between September 22, 2017 and October 14, 2017 are within established norms.

The VCTA Executive will be consulting the College’s asbestos register as renovations in the College continue. We hope that, going forward, the College will supply results of their air quality tests in a more timely and more cooperative manner.
