Due to the cycles of freezing and thawing, the concrete is cracking and breaking creating holes that get dug deeper by our cars that pass through them. These are almost impossible to keep maintained due to the abundance of them!

Will closing our eyes and ignoring the problem make it stop? It is time to take RESPONSIBILITY, get EDUCATED, take ACTION and get INVOLVED to help combat climate change. If we don’t do it, who will?

As the world’s economy and climate are rapidly destabilized, we have the power to prepare for the changes, to slow things down, and to move into a future acting like we want humans to be on this planet for at least another few thousand years. We can turn the corner. Will we?

I get so much out of these new Low Impact Developments the City has recently developed (since when can I say I get so much out of any other stormwater infrastructure system!). Not only are they attractive greenspaces within the built environment, but they are a low GHG, highly functional, and cost effective at treating stormwater. Yes this oversized rain garden even removes heavy metals, fertilizers, and petrochemicals from the stormwater. I’m proud the City is applying these as best practices, a practice that will help us become much more resilient in the face of increasing rain events in the future!

Food security is becoming increasingly important in a world with a changing climate. Although Thunder bay does not presently have a by-law that allows for backyard chicken, many residents still provide local food for their families and neighbours.  Will we see a change someday soon?

Due to climate change, we are experiencing extreme weather changes in Thunder Bay. This winter, we’ve had extreme temperatures and large amounts of snow. When all the snow melts, its going to swamp our stormwater management system and cause flooding to roads and homes.

Sudden climate change from rainy to sunny and sunny to snowy can directly affect people’s daily mood and hygiene. So, to stay as per change be awaken, be accepting of change

Cycling is immensely beneficial in fighting the climate changes according to the European Cyclists’ Federation’s report, “Cycle more often 2 cool down the Planet.”Having proper bike lanes create an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions. Got a new bike #being eco-friendly.

It is up to us to ensure the prosperity of pristine ecosystems

climate change makes our winters colder and have more snow fall. With this comes an increase need for salt to de-ice our roads and space to put these large piles. In the spring these piles melt putting a lot of salt and sediments into our water ways polluting them.
