Tonight, it will be clear with a low of plus 4 C.
The loonie: At 6:15 a.m., the Canadian dollar was worth 77.2 cents U.S.
Coming up today:
- Cage the Elephant performs at the Bell Centre.
- Officials in Lac-Mégantic present the results of a preliminary feasibility study on creating tracks to bypass the town centre.
- The Canadian Football League holds its entry draft with the first of eight rounds beginning at 7 p.m. The Alouettes pick second overall, unless there’s a trade.
