Winnipeg is about to heat up for summer, and city officials are encouraging residents to stay safe and hydrated during extreme conditions — beginning with temperatures this weekend expected to hit the high 30s C.
The city’s pilot hydration project was launched Thursday with a new station with access to clean drinking water installed at Central Park, and two more — at the Broadway Neighbourhood Centre and at Selkirk Avenue and Powers Street — to be installed in the coming days.
The city said Thursday that in addition to indoor pools and outdoor spray pads as convenient ways to cool down, Winnipeggers can beat the heat by going inside at leisure centres and libraries during operating hours.
