Ontario is Burning! – we all experienced the smoke in Toronto and across the province from out of control forest fires. Across the country and around the world we witnessed catastrophic fires, floods, and droughts.

Climate change is very real, right here and now. The direct, current effect on our health through extreme heat and poor air quality is adding a layer of urgency to addressing our dependence on fossil fuel.

Through this panel, we will emphasize the immediate impact of climate change, address the urgent need to phase-out fossil fuel, the options available to us, the resistance to change, and policy issues we face, primarily at the provincial level.
