With temperatures in the area forecast to be above 35° C for three or more consecutive days, and with nighttime lows not dipping below 18° C, the Village of Ashcroft has activated its cooling centre in partnership with the Ashcroft HUB.
The cooling centre is located in the social centre at the rear of the HUB (access will be available from Government Street as well as from Hill Street) and is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday, July 25 through Friday, July 29. The status will be evaluated mid-week to see if the centre needs to remain open longer.
The HUB has air conditioning, and water will be provided. There will also be a selection of games and other activities for anyone using the centre.
