The Mount Pleasant pool in northwest Calgary is heated and has lifeguards on duty at all times.
Calgarians need to brace themselves for what's coming as temperatures rise across Alberta, prompting experts to advise the public to stay safe.The Mount Pleasant pool, seen in this file photo, is now open, as are many other outdoor pools and spray parks across the city. Environment Canada has issued a heat warning that's expected to last until July 23.
"If you are going to go outside … you can try and limit between the hours of 10 and two, which are usually the highest UV. And if you're not able to do that, when you do go outside, just making sure that you are applying sunscreen about half an hour before you go out," she said.
Heat stroke is typically accompanied by a lack of sweat, confusion, and an elevated heart rate, among other symptoms — it can lead to unconsciousness and turn into a serious medical emergency if left unchecked. For vulnerable sections of the population, the professor suggests taking regular breaks from the heat and staying indoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when possible.
