    CITY WARMING CENTRE TO OPEN ON FEBRUARY 7, 8, 9, 10 AND 11

    In response to the low overnight temperatures in the forecast, combined with the current weather advisory, the Campbell River Community Centre (401-11th Avenue) will be available as a warming centre on the following evenings: 

    • From midnight on Friday, February 7, 2025, until 7 a.m. the following morning 

    • From 9 p.m. on Saturday, February 8, 2025, until 7 a.m. the following morning

    • From 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 9, 2025, until 7 a.m. the following morning

    • From 10 p.m. on Monday, February 10, 2025, until 7 a.m. the following morning

    • From 10 p.m. on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, until 7 a.m. the following morning

    The Warming Centre will be staffed by individuals who have experience working with people experiencing homelessness, so that necessary support is available. The Warming Centre is open to everyone for short-term stays and is a place for vulnerable populations to come in, warm up, and be provided with information on resources available to them. Visitors may bring pets on leashes and belongings, including bikes and carts. Hot drinks, snacks and seating will be available.

    As this is a warming centre only, with funding provided by the Province through Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, beds are not provided. This service supplements overnight shelter beds and daytime services already available within the community, such as Kwesa Place, Evergreen Shelter and Housing, and the 40 temporary housing units with support services provided by the City and BC Housing at 1299 Homewood Road. 

    The City will notify the public of upcoming Warming Centre activations and operating hours on the City’s website and social media channels.

    Thank you to all staff, volunteers and partners for supporting this activation.
