Toronto has issued a super extreme heat alert Thursday. It looks like the same 33-degree oven we had yesterday is here again. Cooling centres are open across the City again. Here are places to find refuge if you don’t have air. They are open from 11 a.m. today and close at 7 p.m. There are many cool places to hang out however, including libraries and shopping malls. Here are the cooling centres:
• Metro Hall – 55 John St. (This cooling centre remains open 24 hours a day for the duration of the extreme heat warning)
• East York Civic Centre – 850 Coxwell Ave.
• North York Civic Centre – 5100 Yonge St.
• Driftwood Community Centre – 4401 Jane St.
• Etobicoke Civic Centre – 399 The West Mall
• McGregor Community Centre – 2231 Lawrence Ave. E.
• Centennial Park Community Centre – 1967 Ellesmere Rd.
Those at the greatest risk of heat-related illnesses include people with chronic illnesses, infants, young children, and those with limited mobility.
