Hundreds of flights cancelled in Toronto as airport recovers from snow storm
Travellers to and from Toronto continue to experience the ill effects of a severe winter storm that prompted the cancellations and delays of hundreds of flights at Pearson International Airport on Tuesday.
The storm has passed, for the most part, but icy surfaces and accumulated snow still very much need to be dealt with.

Those who have flights booked today or tomorrow can check the status of their departures on Pearson's website and should, as the airline advises, before heading out to potentially sit around waiting in a terminal all day.
