Toronto opens a fourth warming centre following extreme cold weather alert

The city’s fourth warming centre is now open and is located at Cecil Community Centre, 58 Cecil Street, near Spadina Avenue and College Street.

“Since announcing the Winter Services Plan in November, city staff have continued to explore opportunities to secure additional sites to maximize spaces available for those in need. Working with community partners, the city was able to confirm the fourth warming centre location at Cecil Community Centre,” the city says on its website.

The additional 30 spaces now brings Toronto’s total warming centre capacity to 142, with a downtown capacity of 75. Extreme weather alerts are usually called when temperatures are forecasted to be minus 15 C or colder or when the wind chill is forecast to reach minus 20 C or colder for the next 24 hours or longer.
