Spokesperson for:

• National weather and climate

[View] (D)

David Phillips, generally acknowledged as Canada’s foremost weather expert, has been called "a genuine Canadian legend" and "our unofficial weather guru." However, he would rather think of himself as a weather ambassador for Canada, claiming that we have been blessed with one of the world's healthiest and safest climates. As a Senior Climatologist, Mr. Phillips’ work involves activities relating to the study, promotion and understanding of the Canadian climate. As a spokesperson for the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC), he is best suited to discuss weather and climate issues on a national scale.

David Phillips has published several books, including The Climates Of Canada, Blame It On The Weather, and the bestseller The Day Niagara Falls Ran Dry. He is also the originator and author of Canada’s most popular calendar, The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar. He is also a familiar face and voice on national radio and television. In recognition for his work, Mr. Phillips has received the Patterson Medal for Distinguished Service to Meteorology in Canada, the Commemorative Medal for the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada and the Public Service Merit Award.
