The heat is on. Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Georgina and all of York Region. Daytime high temperatures reaching near 31 degrees Celsius with humidex values in the upper thirties are expected today and tomorrow.

Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high-risk category. The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.

Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.

The lap pool at the Georgina Leisure Pool will be closed today, July 19, until 5 p.m.

Registered participants will be contacted about the closure.
