Environment Canada warned of wind chill values between -30 C and -40 C across much of southern and eastern Ontario, and up to -50 C in parts of northern Ontario
The federal weather agency said the cold could cause frostbite to develop on exposed skin within minutes.
“On a day like today, this is an emergency,” said Aaron, who is also a coordinator for the Out Of The Cold’s meal program. “We need something like the Red Cross to come in.” “The City is taking additional measures to help ensure the safety of those experiencing homelessness during this extreme winter weather.”
“A lot of the people that I’m supporting don’t have housing, and so are looking for warm places to go,” she said. “And with shelters being full and warming centres being full, people are finding respite wherever they can.”
