VICTORIA — British Columbia's government is tripling a program that offers free air conditioners to people with low incomes as forecasters say the province should prepare for hotter-than-normal temperatures in June.
The announcement came as an outlook from Environment Canada said the first week of June will be cooler than normal across most of B.C. but the rest of the month is likely to feature above-normal temperatures across the province. "We are strongly encouraging strata, corporations and landlords to work together with their tenants to ensure air-conditioning units are safely installed to keep people cool and safe," Dix said.
Dr. Bonnie Henry, the provincial health officer, said people should prepare for the heat by identifying those in their family who are more at risk and know where they can go to cool down.
