Father’s Day Weekend (June 20 & 21, 2026)

Webinar: Invasive Species and Climate Change (24 Jun 2026)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Presented by the Invasive Species Centre:

Invasive species and climate change each pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystems, create financial burden and impact resource-based recreation. Resource managers are increasingly seeking to better understand how these two issues intersect and amplify one another. Please join us to explore the connections between invasive species and climate change in Ontario. Presented by Kellie Sherman and Dave May from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, this webinar will include an overview of invasive species management and climate change in Ontario, highlight examples of their combined impacts, and share helpful tools and resources to support addressing this emerging issue.
