When it gets hot, spray your body down with water, wear a damp shirt, take a cool shower or bath, or sit with part of your body in water to cool down. Go to a shaded park, the pool, or air conditioned public building like community centres, libraries or malls.

Heat can be a serious health risk for seniors, children and people living with chronic conditions like mental illness. Indoor heat can be especially dangerous if you don’t have access to a cool indoor environment. Find a cooling centre near you ow.ly/Ytop50SvCkl #BCHeat
