Overnight shelter at the Gathering Place

The Gathering Place takes part in the Greater Vancouver Shelter Strategy.

When there is an extreme weather alert, we open our doors at 12:00 midnight for people to sleep indoors. We lay out blankets and mats in our theatre space and provide a snack at night and breakfast in the morning.

BC Housing reimburses the Gathering Place for our participation in the extreme weather response strategy.

Shelters and winter response strategy

We're committed to ensuring all residents have a safe place to come inside, particularly during cold and extreme weather.
