Wildfires, heat domes, and extreme weather have dominated headlines, but for this year's AGM, ONE-IIOE is going to put the spotlight on a lesser-known health issue caused by climate change – the rise in zoonotic diseases. We will focus on the impact in Northwestern Ontario, one of the less discussed regions. Following the presentation, we will conduct the business portion of the AGM.
