Cooling and Warming Centres

To protect residents' health in times of extreme weather such as excessive heat or cold temperatures, the Municipality makes select facilities available to the community as cooling/warming centres. 

Extreme heat can cause heat related illnesses such as heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and even heat stroke—all of which are a danger to your health. 

Extreme cold can cause cold related injuries such as frostbite.
