When Environment Canada issues an extreme heat or cold alert, rest areas are available to residents for relief from extreme weather conditions. These can include public buildings such as libraries or community centres during regular business hours. Other buildings such as malls or cinemas that have air conditioning/heating could also be used.

Contact your local municipality before visiting as locations and hours may be extended or limited depending on season and conditions. Hours subject to change without notice and locations may be closed on holidays.

Alternately, you may visit the Bruce County library website for information about local library locations at https://library.brucecounty.on.ca/locations. Public libraries may be accessed as rest stations in the event of extreme weather.

Information on location and hours of cooling and warming stations can be found in the following 2-1-1 listings:
