An Air Quality Warning is in effect for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley due to elevated fine particulate matter (small particles in the air that may impact health). This warning is expected to last a few days or until there is a change in weather: ow.ly/sgsc50WQCu1

🏠 Make sure your home isn’t too hot. 🌡️ Any temperature above 31 degrees C indoors means it’s time to find a cooler place to hang out, like staying with a friend with A/C or heading to your local library.

Our Cooling Centres are now open, 10 am–10 pm daily, and will stay open until the extreme heat ends. All Cooling Centres are air-conditioned and are equipped with seating, drinking water, washrooms and free public Wi-Fi. Details and locations: Burnaby.ca/extremeheat
