Extreme Heat Expected This Week – Visit a BWG Cooling Centre

Environment Canada is forecasting hot and humid conditions this week, with daytime temperatures expected to reach 30 to 34°C and humidex values between 38 and 42°C.

Residents are encouraged to take precautions to protect themselves and others from the effects of extreme heat. Staying hydrated, limiting time outdoors during peak heat, and checking in on older adults, young children, and other vulnerable individuals are important ways to stay safe.

To help residents beat the heat, the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury has two Cooling Centres available during regular operating hours:

Cooling Centres provide a safe, air-conditioned space where residents can cool down during periods of extreme heat.
