Hot Weather in Store for Southwestern BC

Posted July 13, 2018

While hot and sunny conditions are welcomed news for most, Environment and Climate Change Canada and Medical Health Officers are reminding residents to take precautions to protect themselves from the heat. Keep cool by:

  • Spending time in an air-conditioned facility (such as a shopping centre, library, community centre or restaurant) for at least several hours every day.
  • Dress for the weather by wearing loose, light-weight clothing. Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
  • Avoid sunburn, stay in the shade or use sunscreen with SPF 30 or more
  • NEVER leave children or pets alone in a parked car.
  • Check in on others - People living alone are at high risk of severe heat related illness.

Burnaby Environmental Sustainability Strategy (ESS) has been approved!

The Environmental Sustainability Strategy (ESS) is a plan for Burnaby’s “green” future. It is the third – and completes the trilogy of – sustainable city policies, environmental, social and economic. The three-phase process used to create the ESS engaged over 2,500 people and collected over 8,000 ideas. The process was extensive, inclusive and creative and the response from the public and stakeholders has been overwhelmingly positive, setting a solid foundation of community support that will help to ensure the future success of the ESS.

The 16 “Big Moves” and 25 “Quick Starts” within the approved plan will be the City’s focus for the first wave of implementation for the ESS. The ESS also contains ways for you to take action in support of the 10 goals of the ESS.

The ESS process has demonstrated that the environment is important to our community. It represents our community’s vision for a great future. By working cooperatively with the support of all our citizens and partners, together we can achieve the vision and goals of the ESS.
