We have received notice that a Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a Heat Warning for the Fraser Valley for Aug 11 & 12. Daytime high temperatures will reach 33C with overnight lows near 17C. A cooling trend is expected to arrive on Wednesday.
With elevated temperatures, the risk of heat related illness increases, particularly in seniors and those more vulnerable.
Since 2022 Menno Place has made significant improvements the our air conditioning across our campus, especially in our long-term care buildings. Along with these improvements all staff are reminded to work together to keep residents and buildings cool and take extra care to stay safe during these hot days.
Temperatures in excess of 26 degrees can result in increased physical strain in seniors, particularly if those temperatures continue over a period of days.
To protect our residents and tenants, we pro-actively monitor for heat-related conditions, following our Heat Preparedness Plan.
We mitigate risk by:
How to keep your body cool and comfortable:
And if you experience symptoms of a heat stroke (high body temperature, dizziness or fainting, confusion, and very hot and red skin), call 9-1-1.
Heat Exhaustion Symptoms
Anyone with one or more of these symptoms should move to a cool space immediately and let someone know they are not feeling well.
Heat Stroke Symptoms
Anyone with any of these symptoms should call 911 immediately.
Come and join the fun! Grandparents Day is Sept 6 in the Menno Home courtyard.
