Airdrie, AB – Yesterday was a reminder to us all how quickly the weather can change. With winter temperatures dropping, the City of Airdrie is reminding residents of available supports and resources during extreme cold weather events and sharing important tips to stay safe.
“As the temperatures continue to fall, we encourage residents experiencing vulnerability to access these supports,” says Angela Angel, Social Planner with the City of Airdrie. “We also want to thank the Extreme Weather Action Collective—a group of local service providers—for their ongoing collaboration as we prepare for extreme cold weather throughout the season.”
Daytime warming spaces
During their regular business hours, the following community spaces will be open to welcome anyone in the community needing a warm, safe place.
The City also continues to work with our community partners to make extended hours warming spaces available during extreme cold periods when the temperature is expected to drop to -30 Celsius (with windchill) or colder overnight.
For the most up-to-date information and a full list of organizations offering food, shelter and mental health supports during extreme cold weather, visit airdrie.ca/extremecold.
