Belleville says individuals using Overnight Warming Centre are encouraged to sleep
The overnight warming centre operated by Hastings County will be located within the grandstands building at the former Quinte Exhibition grounds (240 Bridge St. West) for the winter season. The centre will open on Dec. 1 and operate between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., seven nights a week until March 31, 2025. Security will be on site 24/7. During the day, individuals are encouraged to utilize public facilities to stay warm.
Please note that this is a warming centre for individuals to come in from the cold. Beds and meals are not provided. Those seeking other social service supports are encouraged to contact Hastings County Community and Human Services at 613-771-9630 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or the after-hours emergency line at 1-877-528-9514 between 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. for more information on services provided.
Please remember to check on those who are living alone during extreme temperatures.
In an answer to comments on Facebook, the City confirmed that the individuals can sleep at the Overnight Warming Centre:
No beds are provided, however, those using the warming centre can bring a sleeping bag and are encouraged to sleep. The rumour that there is a rule that you are not allowed to sleep at the warming centre is not true.
