The County of Simcoe is teaming up with municipalities, shelters, and community agencies to set up warming centres this winter for those experiencing homelessness who don’t want to enter the shelter program.
Warming centres have been secured for Barrie, Collingwood, and Orillia and the county is also working with agencies in Alliston and Midland to ensure winter warming is available.
There are also plans for daytime drop-in services and overnight respite beds at other locations throughout Simcoe County to help those who opt not to access shelter programs.
