Students For Extreme Weather Preparedness

With the extreme weather shifts in BC with our summer months experiencing extreme heats and our winters experiencing extreme cold temperatures; more people are lacking resources and information to stay warm or cool during these times of the year. Often those who are the most affected are our elder generations, lower income families and students. Along with comprehensive information about the local weather and extreme events, the Douglas Students' Union gave out reusable hand warmers and sustainable neck cooling scarfs. It was such a success that the students have expanded this program into the community by connecting with external partners to continue this support.
