Canadian Tegu outdoor housing

I live in southern Ontario and I think our summers here would be great for Tegus. It gets unbelievably hot for what most would think of Canada
Any Canadians here house their Tegus outdoors in the summer months?
I plan on making a huge wire mesh outdoor enclosure to house my Tegu in the summer to give him as much natural sunlight and fresh air as possible.
What dates do you guys put them out and bring them in usually?
Is there any special care or needs I might need to know about or things to watch out for?

Im not sure exactly but it is pretty humid here. Everyone complains about humidity and always says the weather with the "humidex"
for example: "uggh its so hot today. 35 with humidex" (35C = 100F)
You hear that eveyday of the summer here lol
Sometimes the humidity is unbearable, like just being outside is so sticky, gross, and uncomfortable. But the nights are usually great

He should do fine outside than. Just make sure he can't dig his way out.

ok i found a site with a little bit of info, here it is...
The climate of Hamilton is humid continental (Dfa type) and relatively mild compared with most Canadian cities.
The average July temperature is (71.6 °F) and humidity is usually high during the peak of summer. Daytime highs in the 90's with humidex make it feel above 100°F are quite common anytime from May through early October.

well i guess that answers my question about approximately when to put him out and bring him in. Ill just have to pay attention to the temps near the beginning and end of summer... luckily, there's an app for that! :)
