Climate change threatens our health, way of life, and planet and that’s why our government is taking climate action now. Canadians are already feeling the impacts of climate change, from flooding, wildfires, deadly heat waves and other extreme weather events.
In order to reach a net zero future we need cleaner solutions and targeted policies, and that is precisely what we have been doing. We’ve made historic investments in nature, clean technology, put in place a price on pollution, tabled climate accountability measures, and just brought forward a new emissions reduction target – all measures that will help us deliver on a cleaner future for our kids and grandkids while building a stronger economy.
The Tokyo Summer Olympics have officially begun! Our government is proud to support Canada’s delegation to the 2020 Games and are supportive of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees as they continue to work closely with national and international sports communities, and public health officials, to protect the health of Team Canada, other participating nations and the Japanese population.
Canada has already made it to the podium. Included in the medalists so far is Laval native Jennifer Abel, along with her teammate Melissa Cintrini Beaulieu, who won the silver medal in Women's Synchronized 3m Springboard.
Good luck to all of our athletes!
From June 1 to Labour Day, the STL monitors air quality. When a smog warning is issued by Environment Canada in the late afternoon, the STL activates their smog alert process to help reduce greenhouse gases.
The special $1 fare is then applied the next day on the STL's entire regular bus and public cab network. The purpose of this initiative is to encourage Laval residents to take public transit instead of driving alone in order to give the environment a break and thus help improve air quality.
