During heat warnings, these cooling centres are open 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., giving residents a space to escape the heat. Visitors will have access to bottle filling stations, washrooms and limited seating.
Residents are urged to avoid heat-related illness and recognize that while everyone is at risk during a heat wave, some groups are more vulnerable than others. Those most at risk include older adults (65+), infants and young children and the chronically ill, including people with asthma. The public is advised to "beat the heat" by taking these precautions:
Never leave children, older adults or pets unattended in a car, even for a short period of time. During a heat alert, please take a moment to call or visit family and neighbours who may be at risk.
