Description

With the first major heatwave of the summer behind us, cities are reviewing how to better protect vulnerable residents as temperatures continue to rise. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says the city’s response “fell short” and that a full review is underway to improve future emergency heat strategies. Municipal politics expert Myer Siemiatycki, Professor Emeritus at Toronto Metropolitan University, joins Candace Daniel to discuss how cities can respond to heat emergencies more effectively.
