With high temperatures expected in the coming days, the City of Winnipeg is providing residents with access to clean drinking water at hydration stations and offering civic facilities as cooling areas during regular operating hours.
Eight hydration stations have been set up at the following locations:
- 470 Selkirk Ave. (The Bell Tower)
- 185 Young St. (Broadway Neighbourhood Centre)
- Southwest corner of Stella Avenue and Main Street (near Mount Carmel Clinic)

Residents can also cool off at leisure centres, city libraries, pools, and spray pads, which are available as ‘cooling areas’ during operating hours. Some community centres have also been designated as cooling spaces this summer.
