COOLING STATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR JUNE 11TH - 9:00AM - 7:00PM
Due to early season heat, the Town of Creston will open a cooling station at the Creston Emergency Services Building at 1505 Cook Street on Monday, June 9th, 2025, from 9:00AM to 7:00PM PST.
The forecasted temperatures do not meet Environment Canada's alerting parameters for issuing a heat warning in Creston - the typical trigger for setting up a cooling station. This is not a heat warning or an extreme heat emergency, but it is the first stretch of high temperatures of this season. The first high temperatures of the season can lead to some people overheating because they are not yet accustomed to warmer weather.
It is important to monitor yourself and family members, and to consider developing a check-in system for neighbours and friends who are at higher risk during warmer weather.
