Indoor pools are also a great way to cool down. For information on weekday/weekend hours of operation for indoor swimming pools, please contact 311 or visit City of Winnipeg - Indoor Pools.
In addition to weekdays, most City leisure centres are open Saturdays and Sundays. For locations and hours, please contact 311 or visit City of Winnipeg - Leisure Centres.
All library locations and hours are available by contacting 311 or visiting City of Winnipeg - Winnipeg Public Library.
When using additional cooling appliances such as portable air conditioners, citizens are reminded not to overload electrical circuits as this can create a fire risk. Use dedicated circuits, and plug the unit directly into a receptacle without the use of extension cords.
Citizens are also reminded to never leave people or pets unattended in parked vehicles even for a few minutes, as temperatures can rise quickly and create a dangerous environment.
Be sure to check on seniors, particularly those who may be isolated from friends and family, as well as young children and pets who may be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses during extreme temperatures. Isolated seniors and the disabled are at greater risk of heat related illnesses.
