Summer relief

Heat relief

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.
