Olivia Chow’s plan for Toronto, Toronto’s air quality and the future of recycling.
While the transition period for a new mayor is usually more than a month, Olivia Chow has requested to take office in just two weeks. On Wednesday, she was already working from a temporary office in city hall, Ben Spurr reports. Though she aims to start the job with consultations, Chow told the Star she’s “not waiting” to address the crises facing her office.
On Wednesday afternoon, smoke from wildfires in northeastern Ontario and Quebec propelled Toronto to the top of a list ranking cities with the worst air quality in the world. The smoke, which has spread as far as Europe, also caused Chicago and Minneapolis to claim top spots.Amid smoke concerns, people are watching the Air Quality Health Index closely. But the federal government has a better way to measure smoky air.
