Across 69 million images of historical documents lies a vast record of Canada’s history, from immigration and public policy to scientific discovery and family histories. Now, a University of Ottawa–led project is making those stories easier to find.
How protective is air conditioning in preventing deaths amid soaring temperatures and record heat levels? Yale researchers found that AC usage cut the amount of annual heat-related deaths by half in the U.S., saving more than 5,000 lives a year. However, while AC is a highly effective heat-adaption tool, protective effects level off once usage passes a certain point. On days of extreme heat, risk
