- Delpark Homes Centre – 1661 Harmony Road North

The health and safety of our community members and staff is the City’s top priority. Cooling centre users will have access to washrooms and drinking water. The cooling centres will follow safety protocols (including protocols for screening, entry, exiting and cleaning) and adhere to health authority guidelines to ensure users can practise physical distancing.
Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the City’s public buildings welcome service animals; pets cannot be accommodated in the cooling centre locations.
