The centre will follow all public health orders. The number of people allowed inside at a time will be limited, and masks and physical distancing will be required.

 

Higher temperatures mean greater risk of heat-related illnesses. Drink plenty of water, even before you feel thirsty, and seek out cool places. Call, text, or check in on those who may be more vulnerable to the heat, and never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle. For more tips to stay cool, visit chilliwack.com/beattheheat.
