Lots of snow and gusting winds forced the city of Thunder Bay to issue a weather alert.
It’s part of the COVID-19 Severe Weather Response Plan, and comes as Northwestern Ontario is under a snowfall warning and a winter weather travel advisory.
Make sure to check in with vulnerable friends, neighbours and family.
Shelters and warming services will be available, which are the Salvation Army and Shelter House, the Out of the Cold Program at Grace Place, and the Warming Centre at PACE.
If you see someone on the street who needs outreach assistance, you can call SOS at 620-7678.
