Knowing the risks doesn't always lead to action.   We partnered with Partnership for Healthy Cities to survey 1,900+ TO residents to understand how they react to extreme heat & wildfire smoke. See how we turned these findings into action. 🔗cities4health.org #Cities4Health

Two pricks are better than one! With #mpoxcases increasing in TO, getting two doses of the vaccine gives the best protection. ☝️No doses? Get your first vaccine. ✌️One dose? Get your second. 👍Two doses? You’re up to date. Find out more: toronto.ca/mpox
