Classes cancelled, some services closed amid 'ongoing, temporary' power outage

Classes have been cancelled at the University of Windsor amid ongoing power outages, the university said Monday evening. 

Only "essential services" remain operational for the remainder of the day, according to a statement. The statement said the issue was "ongoing, yet temporary."

"The power disruption occurred shortly after 2 p.m., impacting systems across the university," a statement reads. "While some power and systems have been restored, full recovery, including Internet access, may take longer in certain areas."

The university said the Leddy Library, Toldo Lancer Centre and CAW Student Centre are also closed for the day. 

Students in residence are being directed to Alumni Hall for food services. 

The university encourages people to follow social media for updates.
