A fire at Wilfrid Laurier University’s Bricker Residence has resulted in an estimated $500K in damages and displaced 55 students. WLU representatives told CTV News that all students were safely evacuated: 10 were given accommodations at other residences while others made their own arrangements. CTV News reports that the cause of the fire—which started in one of the student units—has not been determined. The students who were living in the affected unit will have alternative accommodations for the remainder of the semester, while those in other units will move back into the residence in a phased approach.
