Are you feeling the heat? ☀


It's that time of year again when the temperatures rise (seemingly earlier this year) and we go outside to soak up the sun.

But there's a point where the heat is too much. We seek shelter and a cool space to have a few pints of water. 💧


Extreme heat can be dangerous, especially for vulnerable populations such as seniors, children, and persons with disabilities.

Check in on your friends and family. Ensure they have a space to retreat to in extreme heat events. If possible, have one room with an air conditioner (don't rely on fans as they can't effectively reduce body temperature). ❄


Review this guide from PreparedBC and be prepared for this year's inevitable heat waves:

We are thankful to live, work, and recreate on the unceded, traditional territories of the Simpcw and Lheidli T'enneh First Nations.

We acknowledge that colonization is not a relic of the past, but is ongoing and why it’s important to be mindful of that participation.
We recognize that Indigenous peoples contribute to the land amidst broken promises through many gifts and talents.
We celebrate that land by honouring and respecting its history, hoping that others will stand in solidarity with these Nations on the path to reconciliation.
