McMaster University, in conjunction with Health Canada, the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Clean Air Partnership, has created www.extremeheat.ca.
The site, available in both English and French, provides advice for the public and an accredited training program for health-care workers on how to help people manage in blistering hot weather.
Extremeheat.ca includes information on young children, seniors and physically active adults -- the groups most likely to suffer adverse health effects during a heat wave.
Please listen to the comments made on "The House" on CBC radio this morning.
