Background of the organization
Green Communities Canada (GCC) has been leading a community-based climate action movement since 1995, working together with a network of 40 organizations (mostly in small rural communities) from across the country to share resources and co-create programs to decarbonize buildings and transportation, their mission being to advance transformative, equitable, and lasting change.
Project description
Finding will support GCC in training energy advisors to do adequate energy audits and work with utilities and government to change their incentives, including the new federal home affordability retrofit program, so that the right-sized heat pump can be installed to eliminate reliance on natural gas systems, 70% of currently installed heat pumps being undersized. GCC’s efforts will also take place in First Nation Communities.
