Warm Up locations available; more needed
While the last few days and the week ahead appear to be unseasonably warm, residents may still need a spot to warm up.
Fortunately several organizations in Prince Albert offer this service. A poster made by the River Bank Development Corporation and distributed to media through Parkland Ambulance, advertised four locations in the city billed “warm up locations.”
Brian Howell, from the Development Corporation, said he got the idea to advertise the warm up locations from a group in Saskatoon. Staff at the Co-operative Health Center noticed the posters and approached him.
“If we can identify some places where [people] can warm up, it helps to avoid people becoming ill, or perhaps even dying,” Howell said.
