Stampeders take notice – it’ll be a hot weekend 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).
- Drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages to stay hydrated.
- Do not leave any person or pet inside a closed vehicle, for any length of time.
