Let it Snow, Toronto
Up to 25 centimetres of snow is expected to fall across Toronto and the GTA on Friday morning, for the city’s largest snowfall in over five years.
Environment Canada issued snowfall warnings earlier this week, which will remain in effect for the weekend. Meanwhile, CityNews reports the city of Toronto has also issued an extreme weather alert, and also made more shelter beds available for the homeless.
An estimated 10,000 pounds of salt will be spread across the city’s roads on Friday, and several schools, colleges, universities and buses have cancelled or postponed its routes. According to CityNews, the biggest single-day snowfall recorded at Pearson International Airport was on Feb. 25, 1965 — with 39.9 centimetres.
While the weather outside may not be as severe as that record-breaking day, stay alert.. And stay safe.
Hamilton Mother faces child pornography charges
A Hamilton mother is facing child pornography charges after allegedly distributing images of her three children to a British man, over email. The 46-year-old mom was arrested Thursday at her Toronto-area workplace.
Across the pond, a 50-year-old London man was arrested by U.K. authorities for possessing indecent images of children, which were reportedly traced back to the alleged suspect.
680 News reports computers and devices were seized from the alleged suspect’s home, following the execution of a search warrant which led to her arrest.
The investigation is ongoing, and the three children have since been removed from the home. According to 680 News, the Catholic Children’s Aid Society was also notified about the case.
