The cold continues!
We are working closely with our community partners to ensure that those experiencing homelessness have access to safe and warm shelters during extreme cold.

If you, or anyone you know needs shelter overnight, please call 3-1-1 for assistance.

To obtain information on drop-in centres and services, winter clothing and more, contact 2-1-1.

For medical emergency assistance such as hypothermia, call 9-1-1.

Reminder: facilities that are open can provide protection from the cold.
