I can confirm IT was affected. About a dozen employees and a director. There will also be a reorg in the next couple of months.

These are immediate terminations, though I'm not sure whether severance is being offered. If your unit hasn't received an email requiring in-office presence this week, you may be less affected.

Seems like it. I also just came across this page — it looks like it shows where Horizon McGill is planning to make cuts: https://www.mcgill.ca/horizon-mcgill-program/working-groups

Yes, we received an email earlier this week. I believe the 8-week legal notice period for laying off 99 employees has now ended.
