The Greater Toronto Area is bracing for a big winter storm beginning tomorrow and some school boards are cancelling classes and buses ahead of the Christmas holidays.
The storm is set to hit most of southern Ontario starting Thursday evening until Saturday afternoon, with a mixture of rain, ice, snow and “dangerous” winds, according to Environment Canada.
The messy storm comes at an unfortunate time for many who are now facing delayed and cancelled flights ahead of Christmas.
In anticipation of the storm, some school boards in the Greater Toronto Area are cancelling in-person classes and buses tomorrow.
Here is a list of school and bus cancellations for Friday, Dec. 23.
Information for more areas will be added as it comes in.
