Thank you Radio-Canada and @CamilleVernet for featuring Cool 'Hood Champs through your fantastic video! Cool 'Hood Champs is a program developed by UBC CALP to train Vancouverites to become climate champions in their neighbourhood. With increased wildfires, heatwaves and glacial melt, the effects of climate change are becoming more and more real, and collective, ground-up action is one proven way to improve cities' resilience to these worsening impacts. Watch the video (mix o...f French & English) to find out about how you can be a part of this movement! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=904920536668674 Full story: https://ici.radio-canada.ca//changement-climatique-champio To learn more about CALP and Cool ‘Hood Champs, visit: https://calp.forestry.ubc.ca/ https://calp.forestry.ubc.ca/home/cool-hood-champs/ UBC Faculty of Forestry

Did you know that storm water run off is a major contributor to water pollution? We can mitigate this by turning our lawns into rain gardens They filter pollution, conserve water and they look aesthetically pleasing!
