Outdoor air pollution can be harmful, especially over a long period of time. Those most at risk include people with pre-existing cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, children, and older adults (65+).

We know many residents are still dealing with the impacts of the July 1 extreme weather event. If you were affected and have not reported it yet, please do so.

The City is hosting a series of drop-in community information sessions for residents impacted by the July 1 extreme weather event. These sessions will connect residents with City staff, community partners and support services in one location.

Effective Monday, July 13 at 8am, staff and the public will have access to the main atrium and associated meeting rooms, the chambers and the administrative tower (floors 1-4).

The City has additional resources available for residents who continue to recover from the July 1 extreme weather event to help with cleanup and recovery including wellness visits, storm debris collection, flood cleanup guidance and information about insurance and claims.
