Tips to Keep Cool

Aug 01, 2017

Hey Nanaimo,

With the expected heat wave this week, we have compiled a few ideas on how to stay cool and a few safety reminders to keep top of mind.

Please Remember:

To wear a hat
To slather the sunscreen on before going out in the sun
If possible, choose cooler times of the day for strenuous activities and exercise
That staying hydrated is important, pack your water bottle
To take moments in the shade to cool down
It is not OK to leave a pet or child in a hot vehicle
We are on level two water restrictions
There is a BC wide fire ban in effect
To properly dispose of cigarettes and other smoking materials
To try to reduce the risk of a wildfire spreading you can remove deadfall and debris and keep hedges trimmed and grass mowed
