George Brown College remains open today after icestorm
Following a winter storm that blanketed southern Ontario with snow and ice pellets, George Brown College, Seneca College, Durham College, Mohawk College, Ryerson University, and the University of Toronto’s St. George and Scarborough campuses remain open.
Meanwhile, Humber College, Centennial College, York University, Conestoga College, Georgian College’s Orangeville’s campus and the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus closed due to the weather.
Individual classes at George Brown may be cancelled and the college is advising students to check their STU-VIEW account for class cancellations.
Unsurprisingly news of the college remaining open is not going over well with students on social media.
George Brown College is open today. Please check STU-VIEW for individual class cancellations https://t.co/UG9aTzumiH.

@GBCollege with all students as commuters you should really reconsider. The number of accidents on 401 and other highways is crazy. #Safety

I’ve learned to accept that George Brown College never closes for terrible weather, even if it was the apocalypse it would probably be open?

Centennial, Laurier, UofT, Humber, Seneca, all closed due to weather. George Brown, naw, GBC is open. Even during the apocalypse its open.

Every other College in Toronto is closed. Why is George Brown College still open? Because they’ll do whatever they can to take more money
