Boil water advisory issued for the Town of Killarney
Issued: Saturday, December 7, 2024

As a result of an adverse water sample reported today, Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a boil water advisory effective immediately for all residents of the Town of Killarney.

A boil water advisory means that people who take their water from the municipal system should NOT use it for drinking; making juice, infant formula, or ice; cooking; washing uncooked fruit and vegetables; or brushing teeth unless water is brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to use. The water can be used for laundry and bathing (excluding small children who could swallow the water).

"This boil water advisory is being issued as a precautionary measure, and it is not believed that anyone who has consumed this water will experience any ill health effects," said Jon Groulx, a manager in Public Health's Health Protection Division.

Operators with the township have already commenced water sampling. Until bacteriological testing of the drinking water indicates a safe supply, the boil water advisory will remain in effect as a precaution.

Public Health staff will continue to monitor the situation. Public Health Sudbury & Districts will notify the municipality when the boil water advisory is lifted and residents will be advised.

For more information, please call Public Health Sudbury & Districts at 705.522.9200, toll-free 1.866.522.9200 or visit www.phsd.ca.

Heat warning extended for the following locations:
§ Greater Sudbury and vicinity
§ Markstay – Warren, St. Charles
§ West-Nipissing, French River
§ Espanola, Massey, and Killarney
§ Manitoulin Island
The heat warning, which began Wednesday, July 31, 2024, is being extended given the hot, humid weather in the forecast. Heat warnings are extended while the weather stays at 29 degrees Celsius or above during the day and 18 degrees Celsius or above at night, or the humidex reaches 36 or above.
"Frequently check on your friends, neighbours, and relatives, especially if they are at higher risk of heat-related illness to ensure that they are staying cool and hydrated," said Burgess Hawkins, a manager with Public Health Sudbury & Districts' Health Protection Division.
Continuous exposure to high levels of heat can lead to dehydration and illnesses such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat fainting, heat edema (swelling of hands, feet and ankles), heat rash, heat cramps (muscle cramps), and even death. People who are at higher risk include, older adults, infants and young children, pregnant women, people with chronic illnesses, people who are homeless, people who use alcohol or illicit drugs, and those who work or exercise in the heat. Those who take medications or have a health condition should consult their doctor or pharmacist to determine if they are at increased risk from the heat and follow their recommendations.
Symptoms of heat-related illness include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst, and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. If you or someone in your care experiences these symptoms, contact a health care professional. In emergencies, call 911.
Take precautions and stay cool during this time of high temperatures. Take a break from the heat by spending a few hours in a cool place, for example, in a tree-shaded area, swimming facility, or an air-conditioned public building such as a shopping mall, grocery store, place of worship, public library, or home of a family member or friend. Drink plenty of cool liquids, especially water, before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Avoid sun exposure by shading yourself by wearing a wide-brimmed, breathable hat or using an umbrella, and wearing loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing made of breathable fabric.
Public Health Sudbury & Districts offers information on beating the heat in apartment buildings, keeping your pets safe, doing outdoor activities in heat and smog, and keeping your children safe during hot weather.

Congrats to our Dad of the Year - Jay Eshkawkogan. According to Julian:

"My dad is the best because he is always there when you need him. He will always help to the best of his ability and support you with your ideas. He will also help as much people as he can and also helps with community events but doesn't get much recognition for it. Back in the day he was the toughest hockey player around so he says. His hockey stories are always good. He loved the game so much he commented hockey games for kids at LNHL; he wasn't even meant to do he just wanted too. He always tries to come to all my sports, and even sports he doesn't know like volleyball. My dad is the best in the world and can't imagine it without him, and will always love him"

And thank you to everyone who nominated someone as Dad of the Year. Thank you as well to the Anchor Inn Hotel; Split Rail Brewing; Rainbow Ridge Golf Course; North Channel Cruises and Orr's Valumart for supporting this amazing "contest"!
