"The province of Quebec in Canada is a place of extreme temperatures, and construction workers are on the frontline of exposure to the seasons. The sector is more used to the hardships of winter and has generally learned how to adapt, but the increasingly hotter summers are posing new challenges and exposing the cracks in occupational health and safety measures. Make sure you're appropriately dressed for this tour through the snow and the sun."
