The City of Toronto to launch new lithium-ion battery safety campaign

Date: Tuesday, June 25
Time: Noon
Location: Toronto Fire Station 332, 260 Adelaide St. W.

The month-long campaign will bring awareness to the fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries and will encourage better safety practices for their use and disposal. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly found in e-bikes and e-scooters, but also a wide range of other devices.
