Stay safe in today's wintry weather!

Seven steps to stay safe in cold weather

1. Listen to the weather forecast and check Environment Canada's website for updates. 
2. Plan ahead – if you are working outdoors, schedule extra breaks to warm-up or if you are planning recreational activities, reduce the amount of time you will be outdoors. 
3. Dress warmly – dress in layers that are wind resistant; wear a hat, mittens, and something to cover your face. 
4. Seek shelter – if the wind chill is significant, get out of the wind and limit the time you spend outdoors. Please note the daytime community warming spaces below. 
5. Stay dry – wet clothing chills the body rapidly. Remove outer layers of clothing or open your coat if you are sweating. 
6. Keep active – if you are outdoors and need to warm up, try to increase the speed you are walking. 
7. Be aware – watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia. It is important to note that children and the elderly are more susceptible to the cold—check on your relatives and neighbours.
