Meeting of Western Canada premiers focuses on infrastructure planning, high cost of living
Western premiers are meeting in Whistler to discuss the high cost of replacing and upgrading infrastructure to withstand climate-related disasters, such as the heat dome and atmospheric rivers that affected British Columbia in 2021.
Premier David Eby is calling on the federal government to boost infrastructure funding to ensure that new infrastructure is more resistant to the effects of climate change.
The premiers will also discuss public safety, carbon pollution, and how to work together to address the climate challenge facing all provinces and territories.
