Canada Day in Crisis Heat and Flood | Winnipeg News
Description
Canada Day is heating up — literally — as extreme heat and flooding turn celebrations across the country into a weather battle. Temperatures soar to 37°C with humidex values hitting the 40s, prompting cities like Toronto to deploy cooling stations and water trailers. Up north, dry conditions have forced fireworks cancellations due to wildfire risks, while communities scramble to move events indoors to protect public health. Meanwhile, heavy rains and flooding in Manitoba and Saskatchewan have canceled festivities, damaged homes, and left thousands without power. Some cities are adapting with modified plans, others are watching the skies — all hoping for safer, cooler, drier celebrations.
