It's hot out there ... and it's going to get hotter! Ensure you're prepared for the heat at the beach, or wherever you choose to keep cool. And don't forget to take an ice cream break at one of the many ice cream shops along White Rock's waterfront!

Here are some tips from the Canadian Red Cross to help you stay cool and safe this summer:

💧 Stay hydrated and cool - Drink plenty of cool fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty, and check with children and seniors (and pets) to make sure they're staying hydrated.
🌲 Take frequent breaks in a cool or shady area, and avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day (typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.).
🧢 Dress for the heat and for your activity level: Wear light, loose clothing to let air circulate and heat escape.
☀️ Always wear a hat and apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher before going outside.
🏖 Slow down your activities as it gets hotter. Move indoors and don’t work, exercise, or play outside for an extended time.

The City of White Rock is operating the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Avenue) as a cooling centre on July 8 & 9 from 8:30am - 8:00pm.
