The Northwestern Health Unit is making sure you are prepared this holiday season when it comes to the weather.
The health unit is warning residents about the dangers of frostbite and hypothermia.
Manager of Environmental Health Thomas Nabb says when temperatures outside go below minus 28 degrees C, the risk of a cold-related injury becomes much higher.
Nabb says to prevent cold-related injuries, dress in layers of warm clothing and ensure you are also wearing a hat, scarf, insulated gloves and waterproof boots.
