Radio and Television Station List

Academy Canada students, instructors, administrative, and head office staff are advised not to call radio or television stations directly, but stay tuned for updates from the announcers. Radio stations and television networks receive hundreds of phone calls from educational institutions and workplaces during storm days. Therefore, they can report closures more effectively and in a timely manner with fewer phone calls from the public.

Please note that Academy Canada students and staff should exercise caution when deciding whether or not to travel to your campus or office during a storm.
