HEATING UP

Simon Fraser University conducts a study in Abbotsford on Friday, July 10, and interview subjects over the age of 65 are needed.

The study will look at the perception and knowledge of heat as a health hazard among seniors in the lower Fraser Valley.

Study participants are needed for about an hour. They will be asked questions relating to their knowledge, attitudes and practices during hot weather.

Interviews take place tomorrow (Friday) at Abbotsford Community Services, 2420 Montrose Ave.
