With humidex values in the low forties expected this week, North Grenville municipal staff members are offering residents a way to cool down.
Staff members say the air-conditioned arena lobby at the North Grenville Municipal Centre is open to the public, and any residents struggling with the heat are free to visit and stay inside.
You’re also encouraged to drink plenty of water, and be mindful of cramps, fainting, exhaustion, and other signs of illness or heat stroke.
