The GREATER Victoria Extreme Weather protocol |
|
The Greater Victoria 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.

The 2010-11 Extreme Weather Protocol Year-end Report is now available here |
