Heat Wave Hits Winnipeg Hard | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg’s sweltering heat is pushing temperatures into the thirties with a humidex nearing 45—making life unbearable for those without air conditioning or even a fan. Community advocate Vivian Ketchum witnessed seniors in her building, many on fixed incomes and with health issues, struggling in the heat. She rallied local non-profit Community 204, which responded with water, fruit, and popsicles. While cooling centers exist, they’re not accessible to everyone—especially those in encampments or hesitant to seek shelter. Frontline groups like the Main Street Project are handing out thousands of water bottles daily, with nearly every interaction centered on hydration. This extreme weather underscores the vital role of community support for our most vulnerable neighbors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
