Extreme heat in schools and child care settings
April 24th, 2025
Extreme heat harms children’s health and wellbeing and makes it harder for them to learn and thrive at school. In Canada, many schools and childcare settings are not well equipped to protect children and staff from extreme heat. Due to climate change, extreme heat events in Canada are increasing in number, severity, and length, so action to improve children’s protection from extreme heat is more urgent than ever.
CPCHE is engaging partners and collaborators through the 2025 HELD campaign to urge decision-makers to take swift action on extreme heat in schools and childcare settings across Canada.
