Following the closures of OCAD and parts of Ryerson early Tuesday morning, Toronto Police now say four post-secondary schools and 10 campuses are closed due to multiple bomb threats.

According to police, the first call regarding the threats came through to officers at 8:54 am.

They have since confirmed that George Brown College and Humber College were also affected by the threats.

Ryerson University, which closed its Chang School earlier, said that the police have completed their investigation at the campus and has given them the clear. That school has now re-opened.

George Brown College is currently open, although police continue to sweep the St. James and Waterfront, which are larger campuses, according to the school. All classes and operations are continuing as usual. Police also completed a safety sweep of all buildings at their Casa Loma campus.
