🔥 Hot Weather’s Coming—Here’s Where to Cool Off in Winnipeg

Heads up, Winnipeg: it’s going to be really hot on Thursday and Friday. Thankfully, there are quite a few places around the city where folks can cool down and grab some water for free.

💧 Hydration Stations

There are nine hydration stations set up with free clean drinking water:

469 Selkirk Ave. (The Bell Tower)
Stella & Main (near Mount Carmel Clinic)
Princess & Henry (by Siloam Mission)
Roslyn & Osborne
369 Furby (close to Agape Table)
Maryland & Ellice (near Spence Neighbourhood Association)
190 Disraeli (by N’Dinawemak)
406 Edmonton (Central Park near Knox United Church)
185 Young (Broadway Neighbourhood Centre)

🏫 Public Places to Cool Off

Libraries and leisure centres are open during regular hours and offer water and air conditioning.
City-run indoor pools and outdoor spray pads are great for families needing a break from the heat.
Some community centres are also acting as cooling spaces this summer.

🌙 24/7 Cooling & Drop-In Spaces

For anyone needing a safe place to stay cool overnight, these locations are open day and night with shelter, water, food, and support:

Velma’s House, 566 Bannatyne Avenue
West End 24/7, 430 Langside Street
St. Boniface Street Links, 311 Provencher Boulevard
N’Dinawemak, 190 Disraeli Freeway

☀️ Heat Safety Reminders

Drink water often—even if you don’t feel thirsty yet.
Avoid alcohol when it’s really hot.
Check on vulnerable neighbours or family—seniors, folks with health issues, etc.
Wear loose clothes, a hat, and stay in the shade when possible.
Never leave kids or pets alone in a car—even briefly.
If someone seems dizzy, confused, or unwell, call 911 right away.
Be careful not to overload electrical outlets with fans or portable ACs.
