Closing Warming Centre
The extreme weather event, that was consistently seeing overnight lows of -20c or colder with windchill has ended. As a result, the City’s temporary overnight Warming Centre will be closed effective this morning, February 2, 2026.
Daytime warming centres remain open, and beds remain available in the emergency shelter system. Individuals in need of services are encouraged to connect with local shelters or street outreach programs. More information around winter services can be found in the Winter Services Response Plan.
Should temperatures change or another extreme weather event occur, the City will coordinate with sector agencies and supports to reopen a temporary overnight Warming Centre as needed to support community members.
The City would like to extend sincere thanks to Home Base Housing, The Salvation Army, and LionHearts for their valuable support and partnership in operating the Warming Centre during this event.
