Share your heat dome story

One year ago, B.C. suffered the deadliest natural disaster in Canadian history. 619 people died, with thousands more injured or incapacitated by extreme heat. How did the heat dome affect you and your loved ones?

It’s important to commemorate this grim anniversary, to honour those who died and push for changes to save lives. One way to ensure the heat dome is not forgotten is to share our stories, and the lessons they contain for decision makers. You can use this tool to send a letter to the editors of your local news outlets, detailing your experience and what you think needs to change. Letters in the local paper are a great way to keep this front-of-mind for government officials.
