The summer heat can be extremely tough for individuals who live without shelter, access to drinking water, air conditioning, etc. As temperatures continue to rise in the summer season, please keep in mind individuals who are living outside. Below are some summer safety tips and resources for clients:

Find cool spaces near you

Toronto’s Heat Relief Network maximizes the use of existing air-conditioned and other cool spaces on hot days. The City’s Heat Relief Network features cool spaces that are open throughout the summer, including on days when Heat Warnings are issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada. The Heat Relief Network includes libraries, community centres, shelters, drop-ins, 24-hour respite sites, and several private and non-profit organizations including some senior centres, shopping malls and YMCA locations.
