The Victoria Area

Extreme Weather protocol

The Victoria Area Extreme Weather Protocol (EWP) is a regional community program developed to address the shelter needs of homeless people during periods of harsh wind, rain, snow, and/or subzero temperatures.  The program was first introduced after a severe cold snap in January 2004 when the City's Silver Threads building was used as a short-term emergency shelter.

To find out current Victoria BC weather conditions, visit Environment Canada’s website here.

The 2007/08 Extreme Weather Protocol Year-end Report is now available here
