Kelowna, BC boosts response to winter needs of homeless residents with thermal shelter pilot

Kelowna, BC Thermal Shelter Homeless Residents Pilot

En cours

City officials acquired 27 portable, insulated shelters for this first-in-Canada pilot. Partner organizations distribute the shelters to unhoused residents during periods of extreme cold weather. Each shelter uses the body heat of its inhabitants to increase temperatures by up to 18 degrees Celsius. Recipients set up shelters in a designated outdoor area and return the shelters for distribution during future weather emergencies.
