Cooling centres to open as temperatures heat up in Chilliwack
CHILLIWACK — Mother Nature is sending hot weather into southern B.C. next week, which means the region is expecting daytime high temperatures that will reach up to 33 next week. Humidex values could make it feel two or three degrees warmer.
In response to the sweltering temperatures, the City of Chilliwack will temporarily open two locations as cooling centres. The centres will open Monday at the Evergreen Hall at 9291 Corbould Street and at the Sardis Sports Complex at 5725 Tyson Road.
The cooling centres will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Thursday next week.
Residents may bring along a pet but only if the pet is in a crate or on a short leash.
