NOTE: Campus buildings and offices are closed on all Canadian statutory holidays and during the annual scholastic Winter Break, typically between Christmas and New Year's Day; dates may vary from year to year. Additionally, during the summer the University offers Summer Fridays for its employees. As such, you may find some Faculty of Education offices closed or on a skeleton staff on Fridays in July and August, so it is a good practice to make the appropriate arrangements instead of relying on drop-in.
