How’s the air in Ottawa today?
Help us find out. Join our Breathe Easy Project!
Air pollution prematurely kills some 500 people in Ottawa every year, and about 14,600 in Canada.
How serious is that? About as deadly as the COVID-19 pandemic. As a comparison, halfway through 2020, about 240 people died in Ottawa from the Covid-19 virus and about 7300 in Canada. But we want to change this.
One of the great victories of the environmental movement of Ontario is now under attack — the Simcoe County Forests. The system was created under the leadership of Premier E. C. Drury, and his friend Edmund Zavitz, to rescue the Simcoe County from being buried in marching sand wastes. This was triggered by ruthless deforestation.
The Freele Tract is being defended by a valiant 770-member environmental protection group which should never have had to be organized. It’s called the Friends of Simcoe County Forests.

Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter is seeking an outgoing, engaging, and goal-oriented individual to help with volunteer and membership recruitment this summer.
The position will involve working closely with our programs and volunteers, organizing and attending online events to educate the public about our mandate, activities, and to recruit volunteers and members for Sierra Club Canada Foundation.
This is the first line in a message being sent by emergency services to those who refuse to leave their homes as the Australian bushfires approach.
