Residents in need of a safe indoor place overnight will once again have support in Quinte West this winter. A seasonal warming centre is set to open on December 1, 2025, providing nightly shelter through the cold months.
The service will run out of Trenton United Church at 85 Dundas Street East, welcoming individuals from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. every night until March 31, 2026. The space is intended for anyone experiencing homelessness or facing unstable housing, offering warmth, safety, and basic overnight accommodations.
This winter marks the fifth year the city has offered an overnight warming program. The initiative is made possible through collaboration between the City of Quinte West, Hastings County, and several local partners who help support vulnerable residents during extreme weather.
Meanwhile, Northumberland County is exploring its own temporary solution, working toward opening a warming room at its Cobourg headquarters. The project is still in development as officials secure staffing, equipment, and required approvals.
Local leaders say the winter programs play a vital role in keeping people safe during harsh weather, especially when temperatures drop significantly at night.
