Libraries, arenas, sports facilities close
The closure of city libraries, arenas, pools and other sports facilities was announced Thursday afternoon by Mayor Plante. I notice the Grande bibliothèque and other BAnQ facilities are still open, but they have a page indicating it would be better to stay away.
McGill has suspended classes Friday, although who knows what happens later. The city’s other universities are still open for the moment; some students are petitioning to complete their courses from home.
Although the premier said Thursday that no indoor gatherings of 250 or more people will be allowed, La Presse notes that a crowded Azur train can have as many as a thousand people aboard, but there are no plans yet to shut down the metro.

Concordia’s classes are cancelled as well now – just until Monday (as of today anyway). I assume they are strategizing digital delivery of courses for the remaining three weeks of term. They have software for that apparently. We’ll see. This is a pretty disconcerting time. 🙁

One small bit of good news – I just got confirmation from the library that they will renew late books without restrictions.
