Heat Risk & Mitigation

Heat Exposure

Heat hotspot coverage23.4%
Cool island coverage31.2%
Average canopy cover28.6%

Mitigation Potential

An estimated 2,400 additional trees in heat hotspot areas would bring canopy coverage to 40%, reducing surface temperatures by an estimated 2–4°C during peak summer.

Based on i-Tree canopy modeling and Montreal heat island classification data.
