Ottawans aren’t shying away from the intense Labour Day weekend heat, bravely stepping outside to take part in a variety of activities.
At the Mackenzie King Estate in Gatineau Park, activities included everything from old-fashioned lawn games such as badminton and croquet to vintage bicycle exhibits to face painting for children.
Cyclists dropped onto the saddle to take advantage of the final weekend of the 45th season of Car-Free Ottawa Parkways, with the roads closed to vehicle traffic one final Sunday morning.
Others hit the water or simply took a walk — usually with a large water bottle in hand as temperatures rose to about 30 C, with a humidex level of about 38.
Meanwhile, Environment Canada issued a second weather alert for the national capital area on Sunday morning, adding a severe thunderstorm watch to the heat warning released a day earlier.

The federal agency stated that conditions in the afternoon will be favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing heavy rain, large hail and strong wind gusts.
Also Sunday, Ottawa Fire Services tweeted that, due to high temperatures and an expected high humidex, a burn ban was in effect for the city of Ottawa.
The heat warning remained in effect, with a forecast high of 30 C on Sunday and 31 on Monday. The overnight lows were to be 20 and 21. The “humidex value” on Sunday is expected to reach a high of 38.
There is to be only slight relief on Tuesday and Wednesday, with forecast highs of 27 and 28, respectively. On Thursday, the high is expected to drop to 24.
