Tens of thousands of people were celebrating in and around campus for Western University Homecoming on Saturday.
“We haven’t had any major incidents so far today,” said Sandasha Bough, acting Sergeant with the London Police Service (LPS).
In the area of Broughdale Avenue, police blocked off streets with large vehicles, and tried to contain the foot traffic.
With the addition of officers from Windsor and Hamilton, emergency crews used barricades in the middle of Broughdale to keep the partiers to the sidewalk and front lawns.
“Priority right now is to ensure the roads stay clear in case emergency vehicles need to get through, and so far we've been able to get where we need to go,” said Bough.
The perfect temperatures brought thousands of students to house and street parties around campus.
