In the aftermath of a scorching hot Saskatchewan Roughriders game on July 29 when 21 fans were treated for heat-related symptoms, the City of Regina and Evraz Place (REAL) are discussing an extreme weather plan for all events at Mosaic Stadium.

Fans were hot about the lack of water fountains at the stadium on a day when the mercury registered 35 degrees at kickoff.

“We’re looking at having REAL define an extreme weather plan that could be implemented when temperatures rise above or below a certain temperature,” said Kim Onrait, executive director of city services and major projects.

“If the forecast would be similar to what we saw that particular day, then they would have a plan that they would implement, which could very well be bringing in portable water filling stations for people to access.”

Of the 21 fans who became ill, two required transport to hospital, six were managed by St. John Ambulance and 15 required fluids and cooling by paramedics and then were released.
