A maximum 26C temperature threshold, with supportive guidance and investments to cool schools through low-carbon solutions must be a priority to protect children from #ExtremeHeat across Canada. @cpche.ca @cpha-acsp.bsky.social

DON'T use "fun in the sun" images for extreme heat stories.
DO use photos that convey the suffering and pain caused by extreme heat.
Extreme heat is the most deadly weather event in the US.
Images are critical pieces of any news story — they draw readers in and help to communicate the story itself. However, publications continue to publish photos that fail to convey the severity and danger of extreme heat.

By shifting the focus of federal reviews from "whether" to built infrastructure & energy projects including climate-harming fossil fuel projects, to "how to best advance them", Bill C-5 risks projects proceeding without prior health and environmental assessments. @cpche.ca @cpha-acsp.bsky.social

Parts of NW Ont. are facing 2 climate-related health risks today - #ExtremeHeat & wildfire smoke. When indoor settings lack mechanical cooling it's challenging to follow public health advice - "When there is an extreme heat event occurring with poor air quality, prioritize keeping cool" @cpche.ca
