This Research Assistant position supports a project led by the BC Lung Foundation that aims to better understand and address the impacts of extreme heat and fire smoke events on priority populations in the Metro Vancouver region. This project builds off of work done in 2023 where an in-person workshop template was created at BC Lung that teaches people how to help themselves during periods of extreme smoke and heat. The goal of this year's (2024) summer project is to expand the program to include priority populations in Metro Vancouver and ensure that the workshop model is adapted for and responsive to the needs of people living at the intersections of poverty, medical vulnerability and poor quality housing.
