For this section, we are using the flexibility offered by AASHE for STARS reporting and are submitting the last data available for this section. Data are the latest available and are from 2017-2018, therefore within the previous 6 years. The 3 last years (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 - for which the data are not yet available for this section) have been greatly impacted by COVID-19 pandemic. In the province of Quebec, we were subjected to confinement and various sanitary measures limiting activities and access on campus. Furthermore, any assessment during this period can not be representative of regular activities since teaching, research and operations were affected throuhout those years at different levels of intensity and duration, because of evolving and changing sanitary measures and going back and forth into and out of confinement.
