The City of Winnipeg has a list of hydration stations, as well as cooling centres available during this heat wave. Public libraries and shopping malls are also open to the public and may offer some respite from the heat.
It’s important to keep cool and stay hydrated in this hot weather. Here are a few ways you can get relief from this extreme heat:
Wear a hat, loose-fitting clothing, and stay in the shade as much as possible.
Make sure you drink water before, during, and after outdoor activities. Tell someone you trust where you’ll be going and when you’ll be back.
You can cool off and get clean drinking water in our leisure centres and libraries during regular operating hours. Our spray pads are open 9:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. daily. winnipeg.ca/spraypads

Never leave pets in a parked car. Temperatures can become very dangerous, very quickly. Make sure to walk your pet early in the morning or later in the evening when hot pavement won’t scorch their paws.
Check up on older adults and those with chronic conditions.
If you or someone you know is exhibiting symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, call 911. Learn the signs you should watch out for: winnipeg.ca/extremeheat
