The problem with housing in Canada is the limited supply. Canada lack of construction has led to a shortage of housing. Despite the high demand for more housing, developers are not building enough new homes to meet the need. This is partly because of high construction costs but also due to a lack of available land in urban areas and restrictive zoning regulations. This has caused the increase of housing prices and a lack of affordable options for many people.
In Canada, it is estimated that a total of 25 million birds collide with windows each year resulting in serious injury or death. This is due to the fact that light pollution can mess up the navigation system for birds. Excess light coming from industrialization and human activity is a form of pollution as well. The negative effects of light pollution impact many fields of study including economic, ecology and, astronomy.
in Canada, municipal government takes care of waste collection, disposal and health of our planet and community. Canada throws away over 3 million tons of plastic every year. Only a few percent of plastic is recycled while the rest is gong to the landfills. This causes air emission, land and water pollution and can effect many eco systems and species.
One of the solution to waste management is to educate people to reduce waste and teach them about 3R's Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Recycling not only helps to get rid of waste but also effectively converts it to something that is used as raw material for some industries. People should also be educated more about the green bin to compost organic waste. Composting is one of the oldest and efficient eco friendly technique with no negative effect on environment.
Water Pollution in Canada is one of the worst issues in the country. This type of pollution occurs the most in Canada's southern parts where industrial and agricultural activities take place. Although our country's production areas are effected by this problem, Canada's Indigenous communities are effected the most by this issue. Canada's Indigenous communities have to boil their water to make sure they don't get sick and have had to move out of their communities to find places and cities with better water quality.
Land pollution in Canada is due to industrial and urban waste dumping, poor agricultural practices that reduce and destroy the ability of land sustainability. All these things expose the bare topsoil to wind and water erosion.
In Canada, it is said that air pollution is linked to an estimation of 15,300 premature deaths each year. As Canada's population increases, the demand for the production, delivery, goods and services and transportation increases as well. The main pinpoint of air pollution in Canada is our manufacturing and production emissions from factories and gas emissions from transportation devices.
There are many ways to curb air pollution. Simple things such as driving your car less, carpooling, walking to places that are nearby and using less energy are very efficient ways to curb air pollution. Planting more trees will help bring the carbon levels to a minimum and reduces the risk of a stroke, heart diseases, etc.

With the increase of climate change, rainfall precipitation will become more common for rain to fall on snow and new storm patterns which can cause frequent and intense droughts. These intense droughts can overwhelm infrastructure and can disrupt transportation networks, supply chains and contributes to water contamination.

National parks have been a solution created by the government of Canada that reserves places in nature
National park projects are being created for animals that don't have a stable or that don't have any habitat can live in this well government protected piece of land reserved specifically for the animal.
National Park is a perfect example of Canada's solution about animal and habitat loss. Canada has acknowledged the problem and decided to open up many different National Parks across Canada. The Wood Buffalo National Park was established to protect the Wood Bison, a threatened species. The Wood Bison is originally from Alaska and some northern regions from Canada but due to agricultural practices, its habitats have been reduced causing the species to be classified as threatened. The Wood Bison has now been re-located to the north-eastern region of Alberta are protected under the Wood Buffalo National Park
Canada's population is constantly growing. This means that there needs to be more space for cities.
City Expansion has led to 57 million acres of trees being cut down since 1990. Trees are very essential to our carbon levels and when they get cut down, carbon gets released from the trees, adding onto the carbon levels.
Solutions
There are many different ways to end deforestation. Although cities will expand into the forest territory, the simplest tasks such as planting a tree, using less paper, not buying products containing palm oil and recycling paper and cardboard make a big difference in curbing the issue.
As a city expands, it will need more land. This becomes an issue because cities are starting to expand into the protected greenbelt. City expansion has led to many different habitats being destroyed and has left the decline of many animal species. This has led to national park projects being made for animals due to the fact that they have no where else to go and can remain in this well protected piece of land reserved.
