The Community Connections Society of Southeast BC has set up a cooling tent for anyone who needs it while the entire province deals with a record-breaking heatwave.
As temperatures continue to soar, Community Connections has placed one of their health outreach tents out front of their building located at 209A 16th Ave. North, but the Memorial Arena.
