Description:
Natural Resources Canada has launched the EQuilibrium™ Communities Initiative, which will provide financial, technical and promotional assistance to sustainable community projects chosen through a national competition.
Communities across Canada will benefit from better energy efficiency and improved environmental impact, thanks to a new initiative launched on June 1, 2009 by the Government of Canada. The new $4.2-million, EQuilibrium™ Communities Initiative will seek to improve community planning and develop healthy sustainable communities that are energy-efficient, economically viable and vibrant places to live. It will showcase the talents and innovation of Canadian residential developers, planners, designers and municipalities. The initiative is being led and funded equally by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
The initiative you present to FCM's Green Municipal Fund could be selected for the support offered through this new and innovative program.
For more information, please visit www.ecoaction.gc.ca and find how you can benefit.
The deadline for submissions is September 22, 2009.
