The report, the first of its kind done for the federal government in 10 years, says Canada can expect more ice storms, torrential downpours, floods, droughts and landslides, as well more days of extreme heat and smog.

“The models predict as we go into the future that those events will be more frequent than they have been in the recent past,” said Gordon McBean, a geography professor at the University of Western Ontario in London.
