OTTAWA, Jan. 21, 2020 /CNW/ - Across the country, Canadians are leading grassroots action to protect the environment, tackle plastic pollution, conserve nature, and protect our waterways. These initiatives are creating good local jobs and improving the environment for the next generation.
Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, launched the annual call for proposals for eight environmental funding programs. These programs will contribute to community-based projects that will have positive and measurable impacts on the environment and Canadians.
For example, potential projects funded this year could help contribute directly to the recovery of species at risk, address plastic pollution and climate change, restore and protect water quality in the Great Lakes and Lake Winnipeg, and improve long-term sustainability of ecosystems in Atlantic Canada.
Canadians across the country?Indigenous communities, landowners, environmental groups, schools, other levels of government and businesses?are invited to apply.
