Our score of 66.23 represents the percentage of points earned in the assessment. The Gold rating is valid until June 2027.
New, easier way to report phishing emails
An easier, more effective way to report phishing emails that also enhances cybersecurity is now available. Use GMail’s built-in reporting feature for phishing emails, rather than the Phish AlarmButton or forwarding to cybersecurity@mtroyal.ca. This will also reduce the number of phishing emails that hit your inbox. Learn how.
Water usage update
As the City of Calgary has eased water restrictions, we will be reopening our pool on Monday, July 8. We will continue to monitor restrictions and recommendations and ask all employees to continue to be measured with their indoor water usage as the system returns to normal operations. The outdoor water restrictions remain at this time. Thank you to the Mount Royal community for taking action over the course of this challenging time for Calgary. Learn more.
