This week’s cold snap has taken a toll on some public buildings as burst water
pipes caused the Elgin Street courthouse to shut, and forced the closure of the
main entrance to the Ottawa Hospital General Campus. Police said the courthouse
was officially shut for at least the day to deal with broken water pipes caused
by the recent cold snap. via
