(July 13, 2026) – Lakelands Public Health is urging residents of the region to take precautions to protect against heat-related illnesses. Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a Yellow Heat Warning for the entire region of Haliburton, Kawartha, Northumberland and Peterborough counties, beginning on Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16.  

Currently daytime highs are forecasted to reach up to 37° C, with a humidex of 38 to 45. Overnight lows are expected to remain above 20-24°C, providing little relief from the heat. The heat event is expected to end Thursday, July 16.  

Heat-related illnesses include dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. These illnesses can be very dangerous, especially to those most vulnerable to health risks, including the elderly, some people with disabilities or chronic diseases, people who are pregnant, and children and infants. Risk can also be higher for people who work outdoors, people who are unhoused, and those who take medications that affect thermoregulation. 

Peterborough County is currently seeking qualified individuals to serve as members of the Compliance Audit Committee for participating lower-tier municipalities in the 2026 Municipal Election.

The Compliance Audit Committee is an independent statutory body that reviews and decides on applications for audits of municipal election campaign finances.

Committee members should be familiar with the Municipal Elections Act and have a finance, accounting, auditing, or legal background.
