The HERF will be a new world-class R&D facility for large-scale testing, research and development that is vital to the Canadian economy […]
Climate change is the result of the rising temperature of the planet. It’s happening because populations are rising, pollution is rising and we have an insatiable appetite for agriculture and energy.
