It was a slow start to the day on Broughdale Avenue and surrounding area in London, Ont. where many are expecting thousands of people as part of Western University's homecoming celebrations.
The rain that rolled into London, Ont. just before noon is keeping party-goers at bay in the Broughdale Avenuea area during Western's homecoming weekend.
As of 1:30 p.m, police tell CTV News they estimate no more than 2,000 people. Officers are working to keep the streets clear and advising students to use the sidewalks. Officers are also issuing $120 fines for open alcohol.
Around 2 p.m., officers closed Broughdale Avenue to non-residents and say parties continue on some of the side streets.
The Middlesex-London Health Unit also announced on Wednesday that it was putting into place, two new Section 22 Class Orders.
