With temperatures expected to warm in the following days, the City of Edmonton will deactivate its extreme weather response effective Friday, March 8 at 9 a.m. 

The deactivation of the extreme weather response is being announced today to give individuals time to adjust their plans for accessing shelter.

ETS continues to operate the Winter Shelter Shuttle Service nightly on the north and south routes to help vulnerable Edmontonians find a warm, safe place to go each night. This service continues to run daily from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., regardless of weather conditions, until March 31, 2024. However, the City’s additional overnight Winter Shelter Shuttle Service (west route) used during extreme weather activations will be suspended on the morning of Friday, March 8. 

The City of Edmonton thanks all our external partner agencies, outreach staff and internal partners who came together to ensure those experiencing homelessness have access to a safe and warm place. For information on shelter sites operating this winter, visit Homeward Trust.
