‘Multi-day heat event' continues in Toronto and surrounding areas
The grandstand court at Toronto's Sobeys Stadium is seen during first round tennis action at the National Bank Open in Toronto on Monday, July 28, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young A 'multi-day heat event' continues in Toronto and surrounding areas with daytime highs of 32 to 35 degrees Celsius that feel more like 37 to 40 with the humidity. Currently, Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for much of Ontario, including Toronto, Hamilton, Burlington-Oakville, Caledon, Halton Hills-Milton, Mississauga-Brampton, Newmarket-Georgina-Northern York Region, Niagara Falls-Welland-Southern Niagara Region, Pickering-Oshawa-Southern Durham Region, St. Catharines-Grimsby-Northern Niagara Region, and Vaughan-Richmond Hill-Markham. Heat warning Aug. 10 Ontario Most of Ontario is under a heat warning on Aug. 10. (Environment Canada map) The national weather agency says overnight lows in the GTA will run between 20 to 23 C. This hot weather is expected to continue through Tuesday or possibly into Wednesday, it said. Relief should come on Tuesday evening as a cooler air mass is expected to arrive, bringing an end to the heat event. Environment Canada says, however, that there is a possibility that eastern Ontario and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area will see hot and humid conditions into Wednesday. Another day of extreme heat in Toronto, but relief is right around the corner Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion. People should note that hot and humid air can cause deteriorating air quality and may result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high-risk category. 'Take action to protect yourself and others – extreme heat can affect everyone's health. Determine if you or others around you are at greater risk of heat illness,' the agency said. People are being advised to check on older adults, those living alone, and other at-risk people in-person or on the phone multiple times a day, and to keep an eye out for early signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. They may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine, and intense fatigue. Anyone who experiences these symptoms is urged to stop their activity and drink water. Heat stroke is a more severe medical emergency. People are advised to call 9-1-1 or their emergency health provider if you, or someone around you, is experiencing red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and a change in consciousness. 'While you wait for medical attention, try to cool the person by moving them to a cool place, removing extra clothing, applying cold water or ice packs around the body. Drink water often and before you feel thirsty to replace fluids,' says Environment Canada. 'Close blinds, or shades and open windows if outside is cooler than inside. Turn on air conditioning, use a fan, or move to a cooler area of your living space. If your living space is hot, move to a cool public space such as a cooling centre, community centre, library or shaded park.' During the etreme heat, resident should follow the advice of their public health authority. Some of the other ways to beat the heat include planning and scheduling outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day, limiting direct exposure to the sun and heat, and wearing lightweight, light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat. 'Never leave people, especially children, or pets inside a parked vehicle. Check the vehicle before locking to make sure no one is left behind.'

Filipino community in P.E.I. boosts dragon boat racing with new event
Social Sharing For the first time in several years, dragon boats skimmed across the waters of Charlottetown Harbour over the weekend. Members of P.E.I.'s Filipino community organized the races as a way to boost the sport on the Island, and to raise money for charity, Make-A-Wish Canada. Vladimir Iscala, chair of the Charlottetown Dragon Boat Festival, began racing dragon boats over 20 years ago in his home country of the Philippines. When he moved to Charlottetown in 2021, he saw an opportunity to bring the sport back to Prince Edward Island and contribute to his new community. "We have a big community of Filipinos living here in Charlottetown and some of them know dragon boats and [are] very familiar with the sport," Iscala said. "It creates the community engagement… and it promotes wellness and it also creates a great bond between the people, the cultures, regardless of where [they] came from." Dragon boat racing got its start in southern China about 2,000 years ago, and Iscala said it's also big in the Filipino community. He hopes to make the Charlottetown festival an annual event. Saturday's races drew nine teams, each with 16 rowers and one drummer, who's responsible for making sure the paddlers all stay in rhythm — a piece of teamwork that's key to dragon boat racing. The organizers also supplied each registered team with a boat and all the necessary equipment, which was trucked to Charlottetown by the Montreal-based company 22Dragons. A licensed and certified coach provided the teams with one hour of training before the event. Shelley Hughes made the trip to Charlottetown from her home dragon boat club in St. Andrews, N.B. While her team wanted to remain competitive, Hughes said attending the P.E.I. event was more about introducing people to the sport her club has grown to love over the past six years since it was founded. "We wanted to come and support the Charlottetown group so that dragon [boating] can be reinvigorated here on the Island," she said. 'Feels like home' Dragon boat races have been held in P.E.I. in years past, perhaps most notably when Prince William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, began a friendly racing rivalry at Dalvay during their first international tour in 2011. That same spirit of good-natured competition is what got Leo Buan out on the waters in Charlottetown on Saturday. He moved to Canada from the Philippines five years ago, but had already taken part in competitive dragon boat racing in his home country and in Singapore. When he heard about the festival, he convinced his co-workers to put in a team.
