Edmonton businesses generate 70% of the city's waste, and most of it ends up in landfill. The city is creating a four-year roadmap to change that. If you work with food waste or construction debris, they want your input on proposed actions to boost...

Vancouver wants to slow down traffic in the Killarney neighbourhood. The city is proposing speed bumps, curb extensions, and other physical changes to local streets between Boundary Road, E 49th Avenue, Kerr/Rupert Street, and Kingsway. Phase 1...
Why This Matters: Live in Killarney? Drive through it? This affects your daily commute. Speed bumps and traffic barriers could make streets safer for kids walking to school.

Sibbald Point Provincial Park near Lake Simcoe needs to upgrade its aging sewage system. To do this, Ontario wants to rezone about 2.9 hectares from natural environment to development zone. The change would allow expanding the trailer dump station...
Why This Matters: Visit Sibbald Point in summer? The park's sewage system is struggling to keep up with demand. Without upgrades, facilities could deteriorate. This rezoning would convert a small natural area to allow better infrastructure—but some may worry about losing green space near Lake Simcoe.

The Senate is studying whether rail and marine workers should be required to keep working during labour disputes. Recent strikes at ports and railways have disrupted supply chains across Canada. Senators are hearing from unions, employers, farmers...
Why This Matters: Remember when grocery shelves went empty during rail strikes? Or when farmers couldn't ship grain? This study could change how future labour disputes play out. If rail and port workers get designated as essential services, they'd lose the right to strike—but supply chains would keep moving. It's a...
