Pearson airport cancels hundreds of flights as heavy snowfall continues
The list of weather-related cancellations is growing steadily as the “most significant” winter storm of the season so far continues to dump snow on the GTA.
“Instructional and drop-in programs as well as permits are cancelled as of 4:30 p.m. and classes will be made up at the end of the session, if possible,” the city said in a tweet. “For the sidewalks, we will start at two centimeters and for the separated bicycle lanes, we’ll start salting and plowing at two centimeters as well. So we anticipate that we'll be plowing this evening.”As snow begins to accumulate across the GTA, multiple school boards have announced cancellations, and the TTC says it will take 41 bus stops out of service overnight.
Meanwhile, the Halton Catholic District School Board has cancelled all sports practices, after school clubs, programs, meetings and athletics scheduled to take place this afternoon and evening, however Community Use of Schools permits remain open. “The entire streetcar overhead network and vehicles have been treated with an anti-icing application. Should any issues arise on 512 St Clair, the route will be serviced with replacement buses.” Heavy snowfall is expected to continue throughout the afternoon across southern Ontario, and the GTA is preparing for what could be a dangerous evening commute.
