Wildfires

Wildfires are a source of air pollution impacting the health of communities across Ontario each year. These events are expected to occur more frequently and with greater intensity due to climate change. Wildfire smoke travels long distances, exposing distant populations to harmful pollutants that can affect their health. Effective strategies are needed to mitigate these health risks and enhance community preparedness.
