The response to extreme heat in Edmonton has been extended due to anticipated high temperatures. Initially activated on Monday the 15th and originally scheduled to conclude on Tuesday the 23rd, the response will now continue until Friday, July 26th.
Environment Canada issued an alert forecasting daytime highs of 29 degrees Celsius for at least three consecutive days, prompting the extension.
