OM DENNE EPISODE
Rising Temperatures in the summers are becoming a challenge for everybody, and are uniquely complicated for people living in high rise apartments and condos within the busy City of Toronto. Joeita Gupta learns more.
Jordan Gray is the Executive Director for the Canadian Centre for Housing Rights and is among a growing number of advocates asking Toronto to create a Maximum Temperature Bylaw that ensures dwellings do not exceed temperatures higher than 26 degrees Celsius.
Chris Stigas is a Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certified Professional and, after experiencing uncomfortable temperatures in his own apartment, adds an interesting perspective to this argument. Rather than creating a Maximum Temperature Bylaw, he proposes the city mandate that air conditioning in units be turned off later in the year, and turned back on earlier in the spring.
