Stay cool out there everyone!
Much of the province is experiencing a heatwave and hot, humid weather can affect your health. Here’s how to stay safe:
🪭 Stay cool: Use air conditioning, fans or spend time in shaded or cooler places.
🥤 Drink water often: In extreme heat, aim for 3–4 litres of water each day, and more if you’re sweating. Sip water throughout the day; don’t wait until you feel thirsty.
🚫 Limit caffeine and alcohol, as they can lead to dehydration.
🩳 Dress for the weather: Wear loose, lightweight, light-coloured clothing.
🏠 Spend less time outside, especially during peak afternoon heat.
⚠️ Never leave children or pets in a vehicle; it can become life-threatening within minutes.
🔍 Watch for signs of heat illness: Dizziness, nausea, confusion or a pounding headache.
Take care of yourself and check in on others, especially those who may need extra support.
