A winter storm forced several postsecondary institutions in the eastern half of the country to close their doors yesterday. Cégep de Baie-Comeau, Cégep de Sept-Îles, Collège Sainte Anne de la Pocatière, and Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières were among the institutions in Québec that stopped in-person teaching and switched to online learning where possible in response to the snow fall. In New Brunswick, Oulton College, St Thomas University, Université de Moncton, and the University of New Brunswick planned to open later in the day, while Crandall University, Eastern College, New Brunswick Community College, and New Brunswick College of Craft and Design closed for the entire day. In Ontario, Northern College closed its Timmins campus in anticipation of the snowfall.
