A warming centre was set up at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre for residents in the Oceanside area affected by the recent storm event. As power is being restored to many areas and those still without power are making arrangements to support themselves, the need for a warming centre has diminished. For this reason, the warming centre will close at 6pm today, December 24, 2018.

For Parksville-Qualicum Beach residents still without power following the windstorm earlier this week, the warming centre set up at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre (747 Jones Street, Qualicum Beach) will remain open until at least December 24 at 6 pm. Emergency Management Oceanside was advised today that BC Hydro expects many areas will have power restored by Christmas Day.

Parksville-Qualicum Beach residents who are still without power following yesterday’s wind storm may wish to consider visiting the warming centre at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre (747 Jones Street, Qualicum Beach), hosted by Emergency Management Oceanside.
The warming centre will be open Dec 21, 22, and 23 from 9 am to 6 pm.
