A gas leak forced residents of a North York highrise outside on a very cold night.
The gas leak began on Empress Avenue, near Yonge Street and Doris Avenue, around 1:20 a.m. on Monday, as temperatures hovered around freezing.
TTC buses were brought in to be used a temporary shelter, but not everyone took advantage of them. Some residents used their time outside to build snowmen.
Everyone was allowed back inside around 2:45 a.m.
It’s still not known what caused the leak.
