Cold Weather Safety Tips & Resources

When exposed to low temperatures and strong wind gusts, there is an increased risk of hypothermia and frostbite. We acknowledge closing schools is a challenge to many of our families and encourage families in need to take advantage of BCYF warming centers on Friday and Saturday.

​

Please also check on older adults, people with disabilities, and people experiencing homelessness, and take caution when using portable heating devices like space heaters.
