Periods of extreme cold are expected in Montréal between the end of this week and the middle of next week, from January 23 to 28. People working outdoors may be exposed to the risk of frostbite.

In these harsher conditions, it’s essential to prepare properly by adopting a few simple habits: 

• Layer your clothing: Dress according to the temperature and the type of work you’ll be doing. Multiple layers provide better protection.
• Keep your clothing dry: Brush off snow when you come indoors. Remove layers or loosen your collar to reduce sweating.
• Stay hydrated and eat well: Balanced meals and enough fluids help your body retain heat and prevent dehydration.
• Keep moving: Your body generates much more heat when you’re active.

 

A big thank‑you to all the teams working outdoors for your dedication and commitment!

We’re counting on your vigilance and cooperation to keep yourselves and your colleagues safe. Let’s stay careful out there!
