The City of Toronto has opened its three warming centres as sub-zero temperatures hit the city.

The sites, located a Metro Hall at 55 John St., Scarborough Civic Centre at 150 Borough Dr., and Mitchell Field Community Centre at 89 Church Ave. in North York, opened their doors Friday at 7 p.m. and are expected to remain open throughout the weekend.

Anyone in need of a safe and warm indoor space is welcome to stop by to rest, have a snack, and use the washroom. Referrals to emergency space in the city’s shelter system are also offered to unhoused community members who attend these sites. An extreme weather alert can also be issued when the forecast includes factors that increase the impact of cold weather on health like precipitation, low daytime temperatures, or several days and nights of cold weather in a row.

First cold day this year, crisis.

Apparently someone jumped to their death at TCH building in the west end, Pelham Park Gardens.

Extreme? This is why nobody believes your crap.

As we continue to ignore the housing crisis and drain money into emergency services, the phrase 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' really rings.

We should build more modern facilities that can accommodate those that need them.

Muhh...but global warming..

The opening of warming centers is a reminder to be grateful for the comforts we have and to think of ways to help those in need StayWarmStayKind'

‘My career with the city is ruined’ unvaccinated City of P.G. employee saysAn unvaccinated City of Prince George employee speaks out about impact the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate had on them. So sad to lose your job over this, especially now that it's common knowledge the vaccines didn't work and can have major side effects.
