HALDIMAND—The science on climate change is unequivocal, as is the need to act immediately. Climate change is the biggest threat to present and future generations and to our natural world. The recent extreme events in Canada’s west remind us of the cost of failing to address the climate crisis. 

Locally in Haldimand Norfolk (HN), storms have resulted in flooding, erosion, damage, and power outages. The average number of days with a maximum temperature over 30 Celsius is expected to triple in HN by 2050, from 22 to 66, and more extreme weather events will accompany this warming.
