The Heat Relief Network is a city‑wide network of more than 500 cool spaces available throughout the summer, not just during heat warnings. Take a break from the heat in comfortable, welcoming spaces like libraries, community centres, civic buildings, pools, splash pads, select malls and partner facilities.
The map identifies all available cooling locations but hours, services or access conditions may change day-to-day or hour-to-hour.
For more information about locations that do not indicate hours:
Shelters and 24-hour respite sites can be found at Homeless Help.
The City of Toronto continues to work with community partners across the city to expand the Heat Relief Network and increase access to cooling spaces. Organizations interested in joining the Heat Relief Network can contact publichealth@toronto.ca.
