Environment Canada issues heat warnings for parts of Ontario, Quebec amid heat wave
Parts of Ontario and Quebec will be slammed with “dangerously hot” temperatures for at least the next few days.
Environment Canada issued its first significant heat warning of the season on Saturday for southern and eastern Ontario and southern and western Quebec.
The agency said hot and humid conditions will begin in Ontario’s far south, including Windsor, and will likely continue until Wednesday.
Areas a bit further north, including Toronto and eastern Ontario, are expected to feel the heat on Sunday.

Daytime highs are forecast to hit 31 C to 36 C, with the humidex making it feel more like 40-50 degrees.
The weather agency says a cold front is expected to push through late Tuesday, but noted it’s uncertain how far south it will reach.
It says that could mean the higher temperatures extend into Wednesday in southwestern Ontario.
In Quebec, a warm and humid air mass will gradually move over the southern part of the province starting Sunday and will ease on Wednesday.
Maximum temperatures will exceed 30 C during the day and remain above 20 C at night. The brunt of the heat will come Monday and Tuesday, when humidex values will make it feel like 40-to-45 C.
People are encouraged to stay hydrated by drinking water before they’re thirsty and to watch for early signs of heat exhaustion.
Environment Canada’s seasonal forecast says the summer is expected to be hotter and more humid than normal across Ontario.
Studies have shown human-caused climate change, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, is increasing the likelihood and length of Canada’s heat waves.

TORONTO – Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro declined to comment on contract extension talks Tuesday but said he wants to remain with the club and that team ownership has been “reciprocal in that desire.”
Shapiro, who also serves as chief executive officer, is in the final year of his contract.
“When I think about alternatives, I’ve never been a grass is greener guy,” he said in a pre-game availability. “Twenty-four years in one place in Cleveland and 10 years here now.

“So it’s the appreciation for what I have and the people that I get to work with every day, the city that I work in and the country that I live in, those things are drivers for me to remain here.”
Shapiro, 58, joined the club in 2015 and signed a five-year extension in January 2021.

He took questions from reporters for about 20 minutes in a rare in-season media session. Shapiro was asked directly whether there had been discussions with team owner Rogers Communications on a new deal.
“Sure, yeah, I mean I think (it’s) not appropriate for me to comment beyond the fact that what I just said is I want to remain here,” Shapiro said. “And I can also say that both (Rogers executive chair) Edward (Rogers) and (Rogers president/CEO) Tony (Staffieri) have been reciprocal in that desire.”
It has been a worst-to-first campaign for Canada’s lone Major League Baseball team. The Blue Jays finished last in the American League East division standings last season but have enjoyed a stellar season in 2025.
Toronto entered Tuesday night’s game against the visiting Chicago Cubs with the best record in the AL at 69-50.
