Warming Centre Open for Gatchell Residents

The City of Greater Sudbury has opened a warming centre at McClelland Community Centre and Arena (37 Veterans Rd., Copper Cliff) for Gatchell residents affected by today’s power outage. 

A GOVA bus will also be stationed at the intersection of Dean Avenue and Jane Street beginning at 1 p.m. for those needing a quick warmup. Capacity will be limited.

The YMCA, located at 140 Durham St., is also open until 7 p.m. Friday.

Please remember that masks or face coverings are required when using these services. Physical distancing measures will be in place.

Affected residents can also stay with a friend or family member during the outage. The Province has provided an exemption to its stay at home order where there is an immediate risk to health and safety, but each household should choose just one other household and maintain physical distancing.

Greater Sudbury Utilities has stated the power is expected to be out for most of the day. Both the bus and the warming centre will be open until power is reinstated.

Residents who require additional assistance should contact 311 by phone or Live Web Chat (311.greatersudbury.ca) to discuss their individual situation.
