The City of Burnaby says it will deactivate its emergency warming centre this weekend as warmer temperatures are forecast to arrive.
The city says the centre, located at the Bonsor Recreation Complex, will close as of Feb. 26 at 8 a.m. It was opened on Feb. 21, 2022, as arctic air crept into Metro Vancouver.

- Douglas Shelter - 2294 Douglas Rd.

- Extreme weather shelters:
- Southside Community Church - 7135 Walker Ave. (Open from the first to 15th of the month)
