Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, posing significant challenges for our cherished public spaces. From flooding and heatwaves to storms and wildfires, these conditions threaten the safety, accessibility, and beauty of the places where we gather, relax, and build community.   Evergreen Canada Brick Works in Toronto - Canada’s first large scale community environmental centre - is an example of such a place, as it was impacted by extreme flooding this week. Canadians must work together to protect and adapt our public spaces for a resilient future!
