The following service adjustments are planned this month:
- On Saturday, August 16 and Sunday, August 17:

- On Sunday, August 31:

Every effort is being made to minimize customer impacts while the O-Train East extension testing and commissioning continues through the summer. This month, work has been scheduled to occur at the same time as other infrastructure activities, such as inspections in the St-Laurent tunnel, to minimize impacts to customers.

The man approached Lee to ask what he was doing, to which Lee replied, “Mind your own business, old man.”Lee then pulled out a knife with a six-inch blade and stabbed the man’s arm before chasing him into the building’s lobby, where he stabbed him in the abdomen.
