Toronto Floating

Toronto is dealing with a downpour the likes of which the city hasn’t seen in recent memory. The city is flooded in many areas and thousands are without power. The entire Transit system has been experiencing severe delays and sections of the subway have been closed due to flooding.  Stay safe Toronto!

We are monitoring the situation very closely. Crews are addressing issues across the city. Please stay in place and avoid flooded areas.
