Cooling options becoming available around Kamloops in response to record-breaking temperatures
KAMLOOPS — The heat is on in Kamloops and the response efforts have kicked in over the past weekend to prevent heat-related injuries and deaths.
Glenn Hilke, operator of The Loop drop-in centre along Tranquille Road says he was disappointed there wasn’t an indoor cooling centre enacted by the city for this week.
“We live in what’s considered the epicentre of climate change in B.C., and it’s not something surprising that we have another heat wave or heat dome,” he stresses. “I mean, the last [heat dome] killed 600 people in British Columbia.”
