Vigilance is in order!
The City of Dorval invites its residents to remain vigilant during this extreme heat period, particularly the elderly and children under the age of 4 who are the most at risk of suffering health problems related to heat. We invite all residents to avoid heat-related health problems by spending a few hours per day in an air-conditioned environment (such as a shopping centre, etc.), to drink a lot of water, and to curtail physical activity.
Exposure to excessive heat can cause health problems varying from mild to severe. When symptoms occur, call Info-Santé at 8-1-1.
