Yellow Heat Warning

During Yellow Heat Warnings, existing public facilities across the Comox Valley provide places to cool down during regular operating hours. This page lists community centres, libraries, splash parks, misting stations, and other public spaces where you can find relief from the heat. 

Weather-based heat warnings are issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
