On September 2nd, the Brampton Environmental Alliance had the privilege of leading a workshop for the incoming class of medical students at the Toronto Metropolitan University School of Medicine as part of their Community Day. The session was organized and facilitated by BEA board member Jashan Gill, asissted by fellow BEA board members and TMU medical students. The goal was simple but meaningful: to introduce Brampton’s future physicians to the deep connection between environmental and human health, and to show them that the conditions people live in; the air they breathe, the heat they endure, the green space they can access, all shape health long before a patient ever reaches a clinic.

Seniors for Climate is hosting Dr. Katharine Hayhoe for a webinar discussing the critical importance of talking about the climate crisis. Dr. Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change on people and the planet. She is known for her ability to translate complex climate issues into accessible public discourse.
The webinar – Climate Conversations Matter – Let’s Get Talking – will take place Wednesday, September 9th, at 6:30pm ET. You can register by clicking the button below:
If you’re unfamiliar with Dr. Hayhoe’s work, there is an excellent video showcasing a recent CBC interview with her. She breaks down complex issues quickly and clearly, and speaks to the dire need to reduce carbon emissions to manage this growing crisis. You can watch that interview here, and we hope it will inspire some questions to ask during this week’s webinar!
You can reach out with any questions you may have at contactinfo@seniorsforclimate.org. We hope to see you next week!
This webinar will kick off Seniors for Climate events across the country this fall to engage more Canadians in the climate conversation. We have to act now, because Later is Too Late!
If you are a senior over 55 living in Brampton, let us know if you are interested in becoming a Sustainability on My Mind instructor. Put on by the Sustainable Community Aid Network (SCAN), this project is an extension to a series of successful events that were delivered in Mississauaga last year. Workshops will be delivered by seniors to seniors living in Brampton South. Workshop topics will be related to wellness and healthy sustainable living.
The Government of Canada has published a sparse but alarming Discussion Paper that proposes sweeping reforms to federal assessment and permitting processes. The overall goal of the Paper is to simplify and shorten these processes so that major projects can be approved and implemented more quickly. The public consultation period on the Discussion Paper has been extended until July 22, 2026. I have reviewed submissions by the Canadian Environmental Law Association, 350.org and Environmental Defence. All three have grave concerns about what the government is proposing to do. Here is a nutshell summary of what the Discussion Paper proposes:
