A Breath of Clean Air: Building Climate Resilience by Improving Indoor Air Quality

Organizer: Green 13

Climate change means poor air quality days are becoming more common. At the same time, indoor air can be highly polluted. Most buildings in Toronto are not designed to adequately handle harmful air contaminants like fine particulates (PM2.5). This workshop will focus on practical ways to prepare for wildfire smoke, extreme heat, and poor air quality days, while learning how to create healthier indoor spaces. This is a great opportunity to build climate resilience and learn more about protecting your health by improving indoor air quality.

The workshop begins with a presentation by chemist and science communicator Louise Hidinger, Ph.D. We will take a closer look at sources of air pollution from inside a building, and how the growing burden of outdoor air pollution due to climate change and human activity makes its way into our inside spaces, and ultimately into our bodies. Next, we will discuss the current landscape for ventilation and air quality standards. After the presentation, participants will be invited to get hands-on experience by engaging with four interactive exhibits: different types of IAQ monitors, air filtration equipment for cleaning the air, DIY air purifiers (Corsi-Rosenthal boxes), and examples of mask designs.

This in-person event is wheel-chair accessible, This event is kid-friendly and open to all ages.

Youth Climate Corps Celebration: Entry-Level JOB, FOOD, FUN, SOCIAL

Organizer: Youth Climate Corps

Frustrated by the job market?

Unemployed? Tired of sending applications into the void? Employers demand entry-level experience—but how are you supposed to get it without connections, expensive networking events, or unpaid internships? The sustainability and green jobs sector needs skilled youth, but the door is locked for too many.

​To solve this problem, we’ve decided to organize youth at Toronto Climate Week for entry-level jobs. Yes, we are actually providing an experience you can put on your resume AND a letter of recommendation. 📝 ( Canvassing, Video recording, booth setup for check in, research MP organization greenwashing practices, draft facts sheet.. )

​We are hiring you for a day from June 1st to June 6th, while not paid yet (if the youth climate corps pilot was fully invested at 1 billion by the federal government, you would be paid a living wage while learning!).

​On JUNE 6TH, join us at a social event with food and fun activities to reflect on your experience and celebrate the wins and the Youth Climate Corps campaign. Get your certification of entry-level jobs and letter of recommendation!

You will also learn what's happening for green jobs in Toronto and join in the launch of the policy paper of a Yellowhead Institute paper!

​I understand when I attend an event I enter an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur. By entering the event premises, I consent to such recording media and its release, publication, exhibition or reproduction.

Suzuki Session 3: Community Resilience to Escalating Climate Threats

Organizer: David Suzuki Foundation

As climate emergencies like floods, heat waves and storms become more frequent and severe, one thing has become clear: in emergency situations, we can’t rely on our governments and services to respond immediately. Most governments state that people should be prepared to care for themselves and their families for 72 hours after an emergency strikes.

But emergency preparedness isn’t just about protecting our individual households. It’s about getting to know your neighbours and making a plan to work together so everyone is cared for and no one is left behind.

In Benefit of SCAN- Seniors For Climate Action Now

Canadian songwriter, playwright, author, activist and former politician James Gordon has a history of producing topical ‘one-man’ shows. His last, “James Gordon’s Emergency Climate Musical” was a success across the country, so much so that there’s demand for a reboot since the show didn’t actually seem to solve that crisis. In looking at the possibilities, James observed that nothing can really be accomplished in climate mitigation until we work to remove the biggest obstacle in keeping our planet sustainable and thriving: the Oligarchy!
