The Nova Scotia government is hoping to find a way to return campus life to something closer to normal in September for students planning to attend one of the province s 10 universities.
The deputy minister of advanced education, Duff Montgomerie, told a committee of the Nova Scotia Legislature Tuesday that his department had been working with university administrators on a plan to help bring the kids back to campus in the fall.
Speaking to CBC News following the meeting, the senior bureaucrat said the plan was currently being reviewed within the department and would ultimately need the go-ahead from Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia s chief medical officer of health.

Most universities in Nova Scotia are in the homestretch of a school year like no other, and are taking added precautions as thousands of students prepare to head home.
At St. Francis Xavier University, the only post-secondary in Nova Scotia to offer largely in-person classes during the pandemic, exams are ending this week and 1,400 students are set to leave their dorm rooms.
The school is making sure it is being done in a way that reduces the risk of spreading COVID-19.
