Neighbourhood Heatwave Response Project Video

In collaboration with residents and volunteers in St. James Town, Community Resilience to Extreme Weather (CREW) and the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) undertook the Neighbourhood Heatwave Response Project to support community-led climate resilience in high-rise communities. St James Town is one of the most densely-populated neighbourhoods in Canada, with 19 high-rise rental buildings. High-rise residents can experience particular challenges and risks during a heatwave, power outage, or emergency.
