Stay Cool This Summer!

As the summer heat rolls in, New Tecumseth is gearing up to offer residents and visitors a variety of ways to stay cool and have fun. From splash pads to the beach and the pool, there's something for everyone to enjoy under the sun.

Starting May 16, the town's four splash pads will be open, providing a refreshing escape for kids and families. These water jets and fountains are perfect for cooling off and having a blast. Remember to bring your sunscreen, water shoes, and a big smile!

Also beginning May 16, the beach will be ready for visitors to splash and play the day away. Whether you're building sandcastles or just soaking up the sun, the beach is the ultimate summer destination. Pack a picnic, bring your beach toys, and make it a day to remember with family and friends.

The outdoor pool will open from June 30 to August 31, offering a range of programs and drop-in sessions. Dive into swimming lessons, join a class, or simply enjoy a leisurely swim. There's something for everyone, so grab your goggles and jump in!

In addition to these fun activities, it's important to stay safe during the hot weather. Here are some essential summer safety tips:

  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep cool and prevent dehydration.
  • Wear sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen regularly, especially when spending time outdoors.
  • Never leave dogs or family members in the car: Cars can heat up quickly, posing serious risks to pets and people. Always ensure everyone is out of the car when parked.
  • Seek shade: Take breaks in the shade to avoid overheating and give your body a chance to cool down.
  • Wear appropriate clothing: Light, loose-fitting clothing can help keep you cool and comfortable.
  • Be mindful of heat-related illnesses: Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and take action if you or someone else shows symptoms.

 

Let's make this summer safe, fun, and unforgettable!
