Extreme cold weather alert issued for Toronto - chairman - 01-21-2013
The City of Toronto has issued an extreme cold weather alert as a deep freeze takes hold that is expected to last at least a few days.
It's the first extreme cold weather alert of the year and of this winter.
Temperatures are expected to drop well below freezing on Monday night and as low as –20 C by Wednesday night.
Doug Johnson-Hatlem, a street pastor with Sanctuary Ministries of Toronto, notes that 34 people died on Toronto streets last year.
He says there are shelters available for the city's homeless — but there's not always enough space for those who need it.
"They're camping out on chairs, they're hunched over in their wheelchair trying to sleep. And sometimes it's so full there people have to hang out right outside the building and just sleep right outside the building," he told host Matt Galloway on CBC Radio's Metro Morning.
An extreme cold weather alert triggers extra homelessness services.
Shelters relax any service restrictions, the city immediately adds 172 shelter spaces, and overnight street outreach is increased.
Anyone who sees someone he or she believes requires street-outreach assistance is asked to call 311. In an emergency, dial 911.
The alert is in effect until further notice.

that used to be a serious attraction of TT..tooney tuesday...FRESH BUZZARD!
go early in the evening a lil past the line-ups for lunch, early and late, and its always freshly fried.
freshly fried KFC GMO buzzard... delicately seasoned with the colonels secret blend of herbs and spices {MSG}..can be addictive.
{you can tell its MSG by the wind that breaks a few hours later. MSG always has that rotting effect and resulting stunning olfactory impact. oh jesus christ! terrible really :'( :'( }
