Cranbrook, BC (February 17, 2024) – Environment Canada has forecast the return of temperatures above -15 for the City of Cranbrook and surrounding area. The Extreme Weather Alert which triggered the opening of the overnight shelter at Christ Church Anglican starting on Thursday, February 15, 2024, has now been rescinded effective today (February 17, 2024).
Extreme weather shelters save lives and help to ensure that businesses, emergency responders, and citizens
are not left scrambling to try and manage the challenges associated with people trying to survive in the cold.
The community collaboration and teamwork that took place over the past couple of days was truly amazing and provided food and warmth to many citizens without appropriate housing and heat.
The City of Cranbrook would like to thank Christ Church Anglican for their welcoming hospitality in offering space within their church for this much-needed overnight shelter, and ANKORS East management and staff for the caring and professional job in running the shelter.
