USLC Weekly News - Volume 11, Issue 10

Now that summer has begun, there are many activities and events that can be enjoyed outdoors.

The long summer days can also bring some extreme heat situations, and we want you to be prepared for those days so you can enjoy and be safe.

The City of Saskatoon has a great resource on dealing with extreme heat and they also offer places where you can keep cool or take a break from the hot weather - https://www.saskatoon.ca/heat.

Stay safe out there!
