The Sioux Lookout Emergency Shelter is now operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The change took effect on December 9 and will be in place for the winter months.
The space will provide a safe warming area for individuals needing protection from extreme cold weather.
Light meals will be provided to those at the shelter.
