The Province is doubling CleanBC Better Homes retrofit rebates for select home-heating and energy-efficiency upgrades to support B.C.’s economic recovery and help British Columbians save on energy costs.

People in communities and First Nations in interior B.C. will benefit from new projects that will create local jobs, make housing more affordable and make community spaces and public buildings energy efficient and durable.

The Province is accepting applications from local governments, First Nations, Indigenous organizations, not-for-profit and for-profit organizations throughout British Columbia for investments in clean-energy projects.

A renewed provincial council will advise government and track progress on CleanBC initiatives to reduce pollution and create new opportunities for people around the province.

The Province is looking for public input to help develop a new strategy that will better prepare B.C. communities for the impacts of climate change.

Eleven building projects have been selected as winners in a juried competition to support the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings.

George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, and Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, have decided to issue an environmental assessment certificate to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project.
