Mr. Bourque’s interest in the weather’s influence on health began over 25 years ago in the early 1980’s and has been a personal pursuit ever since.  By the late eigthies, Mr. Bourque working with Dr. John Bart, had assembled a wealth of knowledge from existing scientific literature about this relationship, focusing in particular on its potential use as a tool to support the administration of health services in Canada.

1992 to 1994, Mr. Bourque led a study of the potential role which the Meteorological Service of Canada could play in health services.  He also spearheaded an international gathering on the subject in Ottawa in 1992 and continued to promote the topic over the next decade, most recently by organizing a major two-year Climate Change funded study of the relationship between hospital Emergency Room attendance and weather.

For the past 15 years, Mr. Bourque has been in frequent demand from the media on the topic of weather & health.  He has conducted numerous radio interviews on both independent stations and network radio across the country, has appeared on television including CTV’s “Canada AM”,  CBC’s “The Health Show”, Newsworld, le Réseau des informations, TVA, and The Discovery Channel, and has been frequently written about in the print media across the country.
