Stampeders take notice – it’ll be a hot week so you’ll need to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade when heading down to the grounds.
Officials have put together a few tips to survive the heat:
- Consider rescheduling outdoor activities to cooler hours of the day.
- Take frequent breaks from the heat, spending time outdoors at your house or at cooled public buildings (including malls or indoor pools).
