Amid the first heat warning of the year — and the first under the novel coronavirus pandemic — the City of London is opening two cooling centres to provide relief from the heat while area organizations are collaborating to increase outreach.
Environment Canada issued a heat warning for London and Middlesex County on Monday, as the forecast called for highs around 30 C with humidex values climbing to 37.
The city says the Canada Games Aquatic Centre at 1045 Wonderland Rd. N. and the South London Community Centre at 1119 Jalna Blvd.
will both be open between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday to provide an indoor cooling space and water. However, other amenities in the centres will not be open.
