Government of Canada supports climate action by Climate Smart


AJAX, ON, Sept. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Ontarians are feeling the impacts of climate change in their communities, from forest fires to flooding. A recent report from expert Canadian scientists showed that Canada is warming at twice the global average. That's why the Government of Canada is working with businesses, cities and towns, Indigenous communities, universities, schools, and hospitals to cut pollution, protect our health, and make life more affordable.

Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, announced support for climate action by Climate Smart. Up to $3 million in funding will help Climate Smart deliver various initiatives to four participating businesses in Ontario and British Columbia, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy.

The funding comes from the Government of Canada's Low Carbon Economy Fund?an important part of Canada's climate plan. Through the Fund, the Government invests in projects that reduce carbon pollution, save money, and create good jobs in a clean economy.

By working together with Canadians across the country and supporting good projects like Climate Smart, we can continue to protect the environment and grow the economy for future generations.
