Warming centres: Places where unhoused people can relax
Last updated December 18, 2025

Homelessness in Montréal

The city has set up temporary warming centres for people experiencing homelessness. These heated spaces are accessible daily during the cold season, in the evening and all night, and will remain open until March 31, 2026. Visitors can get snacks, hot drinks and referrals to other resources.

Warming centres let people get out of the cold and spend the night in a warm, safe place. They are set up in various city or partner facilities and are run in collaboration with community organizations.

Registration is not required to use the centre.

Actions to promote cohabitation

Warming centres provide a safe and quiet place for unhoused people in the area. Teams and partners are on site to provide psychosocial support, cleanliness and ensure harmonious co-existence with the neighbourhood. Every possible measure has been put in place to limit noise and preserve a peaceful environment.

Safety and security are maintained through close collaboration between the Montréal police and community organizations. Strict rules and close surveillance on site prevent incivility and ensure respectful behaviour."

#Searching: the only thing I drink besides water is swiss miss rich hot chocolate. I'm looking for a #Vegan alternative recipe or ready to make with hot water. HUGE bonus if I can take it in my EDC bag since hot chocolate goes were I go. Many thanks ahead!

I got to wondering about how decaffeinated tea is made...

I found this page to be very helpful in explaining the techniques, along with a bit of history... (it even has a molecular diagram!! :-)
