Ontario’s community housing providers are climate champions in action. As extreme heat events become more frequent and intense, the province’s aging housing stock—most built before 1990—is facing a new kind of pressure. This session dives into the urgent need for heat resilience and equips housing leaders with practical, actionable strategies to protect residents and infrastructure.
Join us for an interactive, solutions-focused session where we’ll explore the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure (CTHI) through real Ontario case studies. You’ll:
- Spot common vulnerabilities in older buildings that make them heat-prone.
- Discover two ‘Heat-Ready Quick Wins’ you can implement right away.
- Explore free tools and services from CTHI to support long-term planning and infrastructure upgrades.
Whether you’re managing a single building or an entire portfolio, this session will help you act now and plan smart—complementing ONPHA’s broader focus on sustainability, deep energy retrofits, and livable design.
Let’s build heat-resilient communities together, because climate adaptation starts at home.
