However, this area, 3 hours east of Vancouver, has been hit by a severe snowstorm in recent days.
A total of 53 people have been taken to three different hospitals and health services have mobilized intensive care unit staff. Authorities were however unable to provide further information on their state of health.
In Ontario, severe weather derailed a freight train on Saturday, resulting in the cancellation of all today’s Toronto-Ottawa and Toronto-Montreal services. Earlier, a tree falling on a carriage and power outages caused long delays in train services. Many passengers who wanted to travel from Ottawa to Toronto were forced to wait for almost 18 hours and some decided to leave by road.
