Although weekend snowfall accumulations “are anticipated to be minimal, staff and salting/plow trucks are readied for deployment with a focus on keeping arterial routes, walking and cycling routes, and hills free of ice.”
Residents sleeping outside are also “urged to visit Powell Street Getaway warming centre or one of the extreme weather shelters which are open across the city,” the city said.
