Summer Air Quality & Heat
We are now in the thick of summer and the temperatures are hot!
We wanted to remind you again of the importance of taking care in the summer.
Remember that during times of extreme heat, it is important to take extra precaution to prevent heat-related illness, particularly for those who may be more vulnerable to these conditions such as the elderly, people on certain medications and those with respiratory conditions.
At Community Ventures Society, we hope that everyone takes the time to ensure that individuals who are being supported understand how to recognize that they may be overheating and how to prevent this from happening.
Consider the following –
These preventative measures are fairly standard in terms of managing care during the summer months. CVS and all of its staff are committed to taking these extra precautions to ensure that the proper safeguards are in place to reduce the incidence of heat related illness.

Enjoy the summer & let\’s all stay safe while enjoying these sunnier days!
