Canada’s economy and basic society can't function without key infrastructures like buildings, highways, and power grids. Unfortunately, the bulk of this infrastructure has passed its prime. Population growth, urban sprawl, and climate change have weakened these essential systems. Chris Mines is joined by Dr. Leandro Sanchez, associate professor at the University of Ottawa. They discuss the public's level of risk tolerance, the need for robust inspections and code changes, and how technology can be a boon for stakeholders. Some of the topics covered in this course include: • What qualifies as critical infrastructure • How Canada compares to European nations • The impacts of the 1998 Ice Storm and 2022 Derecho • Evaluating fiscal constraints and targeted investments • The implications of climate change and more!
