TORONTO – Toronto city council wants to know what they can do better to weather proof the city and they want your input.

2013 was a big year for weather, first the July flood and then the December ice storm.

The City of Toronto wants to know how they can learn from both of those experiences to better prepare for future storms and weather emergencies.

Tonight is the first of four public meetings on “Weatherproofing Your City.”

Citizens can also contribute their feedback online.

The times and locations for the consultation sessions are as follows:

Each event will start with an open house at 6:00 pm.

A brief presentation followed by questions and answers will begin at 7:00 pm.
