Coronavirus (COVID-19) information
Updated - January 21, 2021
COVID-19 has changed much of our daily lives – but Kensington’s commitment to keeping our community safe hasn’t. We are looking forward to seeing you again. If you have been to our campus before, things may look a little different when you return. We have made some changes to how we operate to keep you and our staff safe.
If you are new to Kensington, welcome! Please read the information on this page carefully to help you prepare for an upcoming visit.
The Eye Bank of Canada (Ontario Division) continues to support around-the-clock eye donation and emergency transplantation needs province-wide.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
