Heat Warning-June 30 to July 4

Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for the coming days.

Temperatures are expected to be above seasonal averages and may pose health risks, particularly for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people living with chronic illnesses, and those who work or exercise outdoors.

During periods of extreme heat, it is recommended to drink water regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty, seek out cool or air-conditioned places, and limit physical activity during the hottest parts of the day. Never leave a child, a vulnerable person, or a pet unattended in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Be sure to check in on vulnerable family members, friends, and neighbours.

Splash pads are open at the following locations:

  • Westmount Park (corner of Sherbrooke Street and Melville Avenue)

Recognizing the Signs of Heat-Related Illness

Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can lead to dehydration, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, confusion, or fainting.

If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, call Info-Santé by dialling 811 or consult a healthcare professional. If a person develops a high fever, loses consciousness, or appears to be suffering from heat stroke, call 911 immediately.
