The short answer

Official guidance for recognizing heat illness and reducing heat-related risk at busy events.

Heat can affect anyone, especially during long, crowded events. Use the linked Health Canada guidance for current signs and recommended action.

Take breaks in cooler areas and follow the event’s official water and medical information.

Check on friends who seem unwell and ask event staff for help rather than waiting for things to improve on their own.
