Ontario needs to track heat-related deaths, ensure AC in schools, say civil society groups
A network of Ontario civil society groups is calling on the province to develop an extreme heat awareness program to better address the dangers of sweltering temperatures. That includes calls to track heat-related deaths and hospital visits and ensure schools are outfitted with air conditioning. As climate change, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, cranks up temperatures, the coalition says the province needs to be better prepared. Speaking at Queen's Park, members of the network say the province should also bring in specific heat stress protections for workers. The Ministry of Labour proposed something similar two years ago, but the minister has since responded to critics who question why those protections were not advanced by saying workers can already refuse unsafe work.
