Setting up for the last day of Dundas Cactus Fest! We’re here at the City of Hamilton Environmental Services booth with climate action, tree, biodiversity info! Stop by and say ‘hello’!
We’re now into an extended heat warning! We’ve had 21 days of extreme heat this year so far! Stay cool & hydrated & check in on family, friends & neighbours. Extreme heat can be deadly!
This is an important next step with our community-wide climate action efforts. Now more than ever, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts we’re already experiencing (like the extended extreme heat alert we’re in right now). Climate action enhances QOL & local economy.
Lots of interacting issues on the front page of today’s Spec….
Grow it and they will come!!
Yet another heat warning for Hamilton and the weather forecasters are predicting it could stick around till Thurs next week. Please stay safe, cool and hydrated & check in on family, friends & neighbours!
The City’s Medical Officer of Health has issued a Heat Warning starting SAT JULY 5. Please stay safe, cool & hydrated & check in on others around you to make sure they’re ok too! Check out the City’s tips for keeping cool via link below
This is a climate adaptation challenge- addressing the reality of increasing temperatures. But we need to do this in a low carbon, climate resilient way!

Here’s my latest addition- a beautiful little sugar maple!
It’s not too late!! Get a native tree or shrub and plant it in your yard! Do your part to grow the urban forest canopy, fight climate change, improve local air quality, create more habitat for wildlife, the list goes on and on!
Valencia Street piled with cars strewn everywhere after historic flooding.
Don’t forget those who insisted that actions needed to avoid the #ClimateCrisis were “too expensive.”
Don’t forget all the record-breaking, historic or “100 year” events we’ve seen lately.
They’re not the “new normal.
It’s going to keep getting exponentially worse.
Don’t forget Valencia, Spain.
Even the rain can’t keep Hamiltonians from the City’s Annual Tree Giveaway! People were out at Mohawk College first thing this morning to pick up their pre-ordered native tree or bush.
It’s not too late - you can still request a tree here: www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbo...
