Where to cool down in Regina this weekend

As heat is set to hit the Queen City this weekend, as well as much of the province, the City of Regina pointed to information it has available online about resources for dealing with extreme weather.

Among them are public water taps that are available at Buffalo Meadows Park, Core Community Park, and Victoria Park.

Locations available for drop-ins include All Nations Hope and Awasiw, Carmichael Outreach, Circle Project Association, John Howard Society, Newo-Yotina Friendship Centre, Queen City Wellness Pharmacy, Salvation Army Church, Street Culture Project, SWAP, and YWCA Regina.

Most of those facilities are only available on weekdays, although the YWCA’s community hub on 12th Avenue is open seven days a week.

The list also includes Regina Public Library branches, neighbourhood recreation facilities, the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre, and City Hall.

The city also pointed out its outdoor pools, spray parks, and leisure centres as places where residents can cool off. Find a map online at regina.ca
