With temperatures bitterly cold, the City of Williams Lake has set up a daytime warming area in Boitanio Park.
Chief Administrative Officer Gary Muraca said concerns were raised by some community partners about how to keep the vulnerable population safe.
Muraca said just like they had done last year tarps were installed yesterday, (February 8th) at the Boitanio Park picnic shelter which will be kept warm by heaters.
“So it will be open from 8 am to 5 pm 7 days a week for the next couple of weeks or until the conditions improve. Then of course after 5 o’clock the group is working on plans to make sure that this population has places to go when the temperatures are the coldest which is at night. This is just somewhere for them to go during the day when wind chills are up and they’re in the area.”
