A large outdoor party at the University of Victoria has raised concerns about the lack of COVID-19 restrictions as students head back to school.
Saanich police say about a thousand students, most of them without masks, crowded together for a party Sunday night.
Police say there aren't any restrictions on outdoor gatherings, wearing masks or physical distancing and officers issued only two tickets for underage drinking.
The university is asking students to act responsibly and not gather in large numbers.
University of Victoria on Twitter:
We are strongly urging our students to act responsibly and not gather in large numbers on campus property for parties. This behaviour jeopardizes a safe start to the school year for students, faculty and staff.
