City of Toronto announces return of #BeSunSafe program in select Toronto parks this summer
The City of Toronto, in partnership with Toronto Public Health, David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and the Douglas Wright Foundation, are bringing back the #BeSunSafe program to raise awareness about sun safety and offer free sunscreen at select parks in Toronto.
This year, the #BeSunSafe program will offer 50 sunscreen dispensers in select parks along Toronto’s waterfront and throughout High Park, two sunscreen dispensers on HTO to Go water trailers and 150 canopy tents for use at #CampTO, #ParksPlayTO and #SummerInTheSix.
Protecting skin from the sun is the best way to prevent skin cancer. #BeSunSafe aims to prevent skin cancer by providing sunscreen, shade and raising awareness of the importance of sun protection.
Sunscreen provided in the #BeSunSafe dispensers is SPF 30, broad spectrum (UVA/UVB), PABA-free, paraben-free, scent-free and mineral-based.
Torontonians are encouraged to take the following sun safety precautions:
• Apply sunscreen every two hours as sunscreen application is beneficial for all skin tones
• Reapply after swimming or sweating
• Use sunscreen with other sun protection measures such as limiting time in the sun, seeking shade and wearing protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses
• Apply sunscreen on babies older than six months
A map with the locations of the dispensers and information about skin cancer and sun safety tips is available on the #BeSunSafe website: https://besunsafe.ca/
Since the #BeSunSafe program began in 2017, the sunscreen dispensers have been used more than one million times, dispensing more than 1,000 litres of sunscreen. Since 2020, the #BeSunSafe program has donated 150 canopy tents to provide critical shade to those participating in City camp programming.
