cold weather

British Columbia's recent cold snap has been life-threatening for people facing homelessness and struggling with addiction and mental health issues, says a spokesman for one of the province's largest shelters.

A warming trend is in the forecast for much of British Columbia after several days of record-breaking temperatures, but the cold weather on the Prairies will continue.

Canadians can expect average temperatures this fall that will give way to a cold winter in central and eastern parts of the country, according to The Weather Network.
