Webinar recording
In recent years, Canadians have been confronted with record-breaking heatwaves, flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires that have severely damaged homes, businesses, and communities. The number of affected communities across the country is expected to continue increasing, with the rate of extreme weather events having increased globally by approximately 83% in the last 20 years. There is no doubt municipalities are at the heart of building climate resilient communities.
