Some B.C. schools cancel in-person learning as snow batters South Coast, Vancouver Island [Video]

Some post-secondary schools in B.C. have moved to online learning Tuesday as snow continues to batter the Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island.

Environment Canada has forecasted Metro Vancouver will be hit with two to four centimetres of snow, expected to taper off in the afternoon. Meanwhile, parts of Vancouver Island, which began digging out from under the snow Monday, will get more snow today. East Vancouver Island from Duncan to Nanaimo is forecasted to get five centimetres of snow for a storm total of 20 to 25 centimetres.

The University of British Columbia cancelled in-person learning on its Vancouver campus. Classes also moved online for students at Capilano University’s campuses in North Vancouver, Lonsdale and the Sunshine Coast. Its Squamish campus remains open.
