Residents are invited to cool off and access clean drinking water in our leisure centres and libraries during regular operating hours, particularly during extreme heat events. Our indoor pools and outdoor aquatic facilities, such as spray pads, wading pools, and heated and non-heated pools are also great ways to cool down during the warm summer months.
In addition, the following community centres are available as cooling spaces this summer during select hours. Please contact the community centres for applicable hours.

Hydration stations
We installed hydration stations as part of a pilot project to provide clean drinking water for residents during the summer season. Locations were selected based on need and past experience, with a particular focus on vulnerable and unsheltered Winnipeggers that are more at risk of heat-related illnesses.
