  1. Build a temporary backyard pool with hay bales or head to the closest recreation centre. City of Kawartha Lakes has two recreation centres one in Lindsay and the other in Bobcaygeon.
  2. Build your own water park in your back yard using pool noodles, or head to the free water play area in Lindsay on Angeline Street North.
  3. Head for air conditioned comfort, or build your own air conditioning system.  City of Kawartha Lakes Library branches have air conditioning, and fun free kids programming. Lindsay Century Cinema offers $1 family movies at 10 am each day. 
  4. Play backyard water games with buckets and cups.
  5. Make bath time more fun! Add one non-toxic corner store ingredient for glow in the dark bath water.
  6. Use a 10 am to 10 pm windows and doors policy. Keeping blinds, windows and doors shut as much as possible during these hours really cuts heat.
  7. Avoid cooking indoors, and unplug as many electrical appliances as possible.Try solar cooling!
  8. Reduce humidity. Make a homemade dehumidifier. Hang clothes,towels and bathing suits outside to dry.
  9. Make an Australian Cooling scarf to wrap around your neck.
  10. Put pillowcases, bedding, or night clothes in the freezer for a cool start  to the evening.
