April showers bring May flowers, and summer brings the heat.

Extreme heat is becoming more common during our summers.

Take small steps to protect yourself from heat-related illnesses by getting heat alerts from Durham Region Heat Warning and Information System (HWIS) and cooling off by one of the Town’s various splash pads.
