Mother Nature is turning up the heat on the region as Renfrew County heads into the Civic holiday long weekend.
People cool off at the Riverside Park beach in Pembroke, Ont., Aug. 1, 2024. The region is under a heat warning, with daytime highs in the low 30s and humidex values approaching 40.
The Renfrew County and District Health Unit advises that people outdoors spend as much time in the shade as possible, drink fluids before feeling thirsty, and engage in outdoor activity in moderation. "When it's really hot like this, we just have people just stampeding in here," says Andrew Kenny, owner of O'Kenny Craft Spirits and River Tubing.
