Misting stations will be installed outside the Bennetto Community Centre, the Bernie Morelli Recreation Centre, and the Pat Quinn Arena this summer.
Ward 2 Councillor Cameron Kroetsch, Ward 3 Clr Nrinder Nann, and Ward 4 Clr Tammy Hwang brought a joint resolution to City Council today (May 21) to approve the use of ward area-rated funds to cover the costs of installing stations as soon as possible.
The motion followed a city staff report stating that misting stations are a cost-effective heat relief measure compared to a traditional spray pad. A misting station costs between $10,000 and $50,000, while a new spray pad costs $900,000 on average.
