Edmonton’s extreme weather response will be ending at noon on Sunday.
The City of Edmonton is ending the response, which was activated on Thursday as cold temperatures hit most of the province.
City officials say the early announcement gives residents time to adjust their plans for accessing shelters. While the extreme weather response ends, winter shelter shuttles along north and south routes, a 24/7 Hope Mission shuttle on the west route, and overnight shuttles from transit stations to shelters will continue operating until March 31. Public city facilities and libraries will also remain open during regular hours for anyone needing respite from the cold.
Officials remind the public to check on vulnerable individuals and call 911 in emergencies, or 211 and press 3 for 24/7 non-emergency support for shelter, intoxication, or mental health concerns. Route maps and updates on extreme weather services are available here.
