Task:  Choose one of Canada's Major cities and create a infographic (digital or hard copy) that describes the details of climate change listed below in this city.
1.  Show me the City
- where is it?
- population
- pictures
-what is important in this city? (farming? business? government?)
- why would people want to visit this city?


2.  Explain and compare the projected changes in climate in the city from 2051-2080 with more climate change and less climate change.
-typical coldest winter day
- number of days over 30 degrees
- number of nights over 20 degrees
- Precipitation 5 day max.
- Frost days


Choose 3 of the following categories only 

1.  How could this affect the Economy in your city?
2.  What kind of extreme weather could climate change create in your city?
3. How will the city need to alter its infrastructure (sewage, bridges, construction etc)  Explain why this is necessary.
​4.  How could the climate change affect health of the cities inhabitants?
5.  What effect does this climate change have on the ocean?


Your infographic is meant to be visual and include a lot of information in a clear understandable form.
The website provides a building tool for infographics.
venngage
Canva (on your google account)

Be sure to regularly use Images, graphs, charts, tables, maps and videos to show your information.
The titles of these must be large and clear to better explain what information they are providing.
