In response to the continued low overnight temperatures in the forecast and the recently issued weather warning from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the City of Campbell River is activating a warming centre at the Campbell River Community Centre (401-11th Avenue). The warming centre will open at 10 p.m. on Saturday, February 21, and will run until 7 a.m. on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
The warming centre is open to everyone for short-term stays and is a place for vulnerable populations to warm up, and be provided access to information on resources. The centre will be staffed by individuals experienced in supporting people experiencing homelessness.
Funding for the warming centre is provided by the Province through Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, with additional support from the City.
Updates about this activation will be shared on the City’s website and social media channels.
