This has just been released by the city of Toronto. For some reason it is
uncustomary cold today. If you find anyone with a problem to get a warm
place to be in today, call 311 very immediately.
The city has instructed thus with immediate effect.
- Shelters are directed to relax any existing service restrictions and are
reminded that if a bed is not available at their site, they are to allow the
client to stay at the shelter until they are able to find a bed for them
elsewhere in the system.
- The City of Toronto immediately adds 26 shelter spaces for men and women
to the shelter spaces available to staff looking to refer a client to a
shelter bed.
- Overnight street outreach is increased in the downtown core, focusing
solely on warning people of danger and urging them to get into a shelter or
another warm, indoor place. Workers will transport people to warm places if
necessary.
- TTC tokens are available at some drop-ins so people can use public transit
to get to shelters.
- Starting in January 2014 as a pilot, Metro Hall is automatically opened as
a Warming Centre at 3 p.m. on the day an Extreme Cold Weather Alert is
called. Here, people can get warm, have a hot drink and a light snack, and
get assistance to access an emergency shelter bed. Pets are welcome and the
Warming Centre remains open 24 hours a day for the duration of the Extreme
Cold Weather Alert.
- More than 100 agencies are advised of the oncoming extreme weather and
asked to relax any service restrictions they may have.
How to get an emergency shelter bed any day, any hour:
- Call 311, or
- Directly contact the City of Toronto's Central Intake line; within the
Greater Toronto Area it is toll-free at 1-877-338 3398, or
- Go in person to the Streets to Homes Assessment and Referral Centre,
located at 129 Peter St. (at Richmond Street).

Friends
For some unknown reason our temperatures have plummeted in last few hours
thus sending the city to issue an extreme cold weather alert on this Sunday.
This means that several shelter places are going to be opened up for the
homeless people tonight to get a place to sleep, but Police also can use it
to encourage you about leaving the street. Let us keep that in our mind as
we dress to get outside today. Luckily it is a Sunday and if you do not have
to work you can remain inside all day. Let me take this opportunity as well
to remind you that tomorrow Monday, is a public holiday in Ontario as a
family day. Let us take the time to think about our families. Happy family
day tomorrow to you all in Ontario.
And Gook no I am working both today and tomorrow for my job requires such.
