Listen "Canada's Burning Up: The Heat Is On"
Episode Synopsis
Temperatures are rising and affecting our world in horrifying ways, the only world we have at the moment. Kelly MacDonald sits down with experts to bring us up to speed on the current state of dealing with fires and emergencies in Canada.
Professor Sébastien Jodoin from the Faculty of Law at McGill University, and the Canada Research Chair in Human Rights, Health, and the Environment, gives us a reality check on the lack of supports when it comes to emergency evacuations for people with disabilities. Ken McMullen, President of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, brings us more than just the ins and outs of creating a National Fire Strategy for our country.
Nobody wants to think about being left behind during an emergency, but the reality is we’re losing lives, so let’s have the conversation.
