The Cold Weather Policy was in use for much of December as temperatures dipped to the minus thirties and even forties.

The Cold Weather Policy comes into effect when temperatures dip below minus 35 with the wind chill.

When that happens, the outdoor skating rink huts at Eastwood, Juniper and Southwood will all open up to those in need of shelter for the cold night.

There was only two nights in which the policy was activated but not utilized. Every other day brought in at least one person to one of the huts and at most six people came through the doors.

There was only one night when the Policy could have been activated but no staff was there to monitor the facility.
