Parts of Central Canada are experiencing an extreme heat event. Extreme heat can have a negative impact on our physical and mental health.

If you can, seek cool locations, drink lots of water and check in on your older relatives and neighbours who may be more susceptible to the heat. Let's look out for one another.
