Fraser Health has provided information regarding a potential heat warning that may be issued this weekend. Please note, based on updated projections from Environment and Climate Change Canada, a heat warning is reasonably likely to be declared on Sunday or Monday.
“Our health region has moderate temperatures for most of the year. However, as the climate warms in the summer, extreme heat can cause health impacts, particularly early in the season, resulting in heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, worsening pre-existing health conditions. In extreme situations, this can lead to permanent disability or death. Fraser Health wants to help you stay safe and healthy in the heat.”
