"To help bring as many people as possible indoors during the extreme cold forecasted in the coming days, the City of Toronto is launching an early activation of its two surge Warming Centres, adding more street outreach and opening temporary contingency spaces in the shelter system in areas not traditionally used for sleeping," city spokesperson Russell Baker said in an email on Saturday.
"Warming Centres give those who are vulnerable and may be experiencing homelessness a warm indoor place to rest and access meals, washroom facilities and referrals to emergency shelter and other community services," the city added.
"Should someone arrive at a centre to find that it is already at capacity, the City will assist with transportation to another Warming Centre that has space," the city said.
