What is closed? 
There will be no mail delivery from Canada Post and all banks will be closed.
There will be no service at any City of London offices, including City Hall, Citi Plaza, Ontario Works, and the Provincial Offences Administrative Office.
As well as community centers, arenas, aquatic facilities, golf courses, recreational facilities, and Storybook Gardens will not be open to the public.
What is open?
London Transit buses will run as usual today.
The schools will remain open, including Fanshawe College and Western University.
The hours of operation of grocery stores, drug stores, malls and restaurants will also remain the same.
