CELA Submission on the City of Mississauga’s Proposed Expansion of Cooling Requirements and Cooling Amenity Spaces in Apartment Buildings
CELA supports recent efforts by Toronto City Council to move forward with protections for tenants against dangerous extreme heat.
Tenants should not have to choose between breathing toxic smoke outside or enduring deadly heat inside.
New Westminster, BC, is the first Canadian municipality to pass a by-law protecting tenants by establishing a maximum indoor temperature limit.
CELA expresses strong support for action to address extreme heat in tenants' homes.
The Heat Collaborative calls on the provincial government to make extreme heat a priority.
