City to open warming centres Thursday with bitter cold in the forecast
The temperature is expected to plunge on Thursday. As a result, the City of Toronto is opening four warming centres for vulnerable people.
Walk-ins are welcome at all of the sites
Four warming centres are set to open at 5 p.m. Thursday as Toronto plunges into a deep freeze for the next several days.
The city-run centres open when temperatures drop below -5 C.
There is one additional "surge site" for when temperatures reach -15 C, but the city hasn't announced plans to open it this time.
The warming centres can be found at:
-
136 Spadina Rd. (south of Dupont St.
-
81 Elizabeth St. (behind City Hall. West of Bay St., south of Dundas St. W.
-
12 Holmes Ave. (Off of Yonge St., south of Finch Ave. E.)
-
885 Scarborough Golf Club Rd. (East of Markham Rd., south of Ellesmere Rd.)
The city said walk-ins are welcome at the warming centres and that if one is full, it will arrange for transportation to another.
