Another hot week is in the forecast for Vancouverites, and the City is giving residents another option to beat the heat.

Grab your towels and sunblock — wading pools are open again for the season!

A heads up, on August 1 for the B.C. holiday, the wading pools and playground programs won’t be operating, the City said.
