Western supports the University Students’ Council’s (USC) programming called Purple Fest. The event takes place on Saturday, September 28, 2019 in TD Stadium from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is expected to draw thousands of students.
University Drive Bridge/Campus Roads
To assist with student and pedestrian safety before and during the event, University Drive, the University Bridge and sections of Lambton Drive, Huron Drive, Middlesex Drive and Philip Aziz Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic on September 28 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The bridge and roadways will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians.
