As Toronto grapples with bitterly cold temperatures, the City of Toronto has taken proactive measures to keep its residents safe and comfortable. Despite the lingering deep freeze, with temperatures dropping to -19C tonight, Torontonians can find safe haven at many warming centers across the city.
Due to an ongoing production mission, the Scarborough Civic Center Warming Center may close quickly. However, a brand new warming center will open in its region tonight at the Centennial Recreation Center located at 1967 Ellesmere Rd. The facility aims to accommodate people seeking warmth and safe shelter from harsh weather conditions.
The newly activated warming center at the Centennial Recreation Center could be available for a new advisory starting at 7 p.m. Tonight. Service providers and individuals in need can access the gap by contacting Central Reception at 416-338-4766. Walk-ins are also welcome, ensuring that help is effectively available to people who need it.
In addition, clients currently using the Scarborough Civic Center Warming Center will be provided transportation to a transition location at the Centennial Recreation Center, ensuring continuity of transportation and 24/7 assistance.
In conjunction with the warming centers, the City’s Streets to Homes program will continue its efforts to interact with individuals living outdoors. Field teams will painting around the clock handing essential supplies consisting of blankets, slumber baggage, and icy heat clothing to inclined populations.
Residents are advised to use these resources to live safe and guarded during the acute bloodless climate. For a complete listing of services provided to people who are homeless or have inadequate housing, visit the City of Toronto’s venerable website. The City of Toronto is dedicated to ensuring a good life for all residents, especially in challenging weather conditions. By establishing additional warming centers and providing basic information offers, the city is trying to mitigate the impact of the cold climate and protect the health and safety of its citizens.
