Operations Update: Extreme Cold Warning in Effect this Weekend

Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold warning for all of our service areas.

According to environment Canada, we should prepare for very cold wind chill values between about minus 30 and minus 35 are expected overnight tonight & Saturday morning. Wind chill conditions will improve only marginally on Saturday afternoon, then fall below minus 30 again on Saturday night in most locales. Some improvement is expected on Sunday.

If you’re planning to be out this weekend, dress appropriately. Wear layers, including warm socks, hats, scarves, mitts, and a wind resistant outer layer. And don’t forget your pets this weekend – they are also at risk for frostbite and hypothermia during cold snaps.

Temperatures should be back to normal for Family Day Monday.
