🏠 Make sure your home isn’t too hot.

🌡️ Any temperature above 31 degrees C indoors means it’s time to find a cooler place to hang out, like staying with a friend with A/C or heading to your local library.

Our Cooling Centres are now open, 10 am–10 pm daily, and will stay open until the extreme heat ends. All Cooling Centres are air-conditioned and are equipped with seating, drinking water, washrooms and free public Wi-Fi.

People now have better convenience when it’s time to screen for cervical cancer. People can order a self-screening kit online and do the test at home or at a clinic. Self-screening kits are more accurate and make it possible to catch cancer sooner. https://t.co/LtWspsr2j2
