Here Is a List of the Weather-Related Closures and Cancellations in Toronto
Schools and transportation services closed across multiple districts due to heavy snow and wind with up to 30 cm expected, creating hazardous travel conditions, authorities said.
- On Jan. 15, 2026, the Toronto Student Transportation Group issued a citywide alert cancelling all bus services, and the Toronto District School Board and Toronto Catholic District School Board closed all schools.
- Environment Canada upgraded its warning to an orange alert, forecasting 20–35 cm of snow with northerly wind gusts up to 60 kilometres per hour causing reduced visibility and blowing snow.
- Provincial police said about 200 collisions occurred by midday, with 125 vehicles stuck in snowbanks, and a Via Rail train with 205 passengers hit an obstruction with no injuries reported.
- Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said `This co-ordination, this collaboration means that we're getting the right information out quickly, clearing roads and sidewalks efficiently and keeping essential services running`, as the city opened warming centres and deployed 1,300 staff and contractors.
- Complete systemwide school closures are rare in Toronto, some boards first cancelled transportation before full closures, and the City of Toronto warned multiple clearing rounds may take several days while Environment Canada urged residents to stay home.
