There's a new option for those experiencing homelessness during the cold night temperatures over the next few months.
The City of Windsor, in partnership with the Downtown Mission and Transit Windsor, is offering a new mobile warming centre.
The Warming Bus will drive around a predetermined route focused on the core areas and stop at emergency shelters and other drop-in programs with extended hours.
The bus will operate between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Mondays through to Saturdays, excluding holidays. It's an option when other public spaces are closed.
The service, offered until mid or late April, will be staffed by members from the Downtown Mission and Windsor's Human and Health Services Department.
The service is free of charge and funded through one-time dollars received through the federal government's Homelessness Strategy.
