4 Alberta communities get $25.6M in federal home energy retrofit funds

Lethbridge Mayor Blaine Hyggen said the federal funds will help more than just homeowners.“This investment will give our residents an advantage when it comes to being sustainable-minded citizens,” Hyggen said Monday.

“One unique and value-added bonus for Lethbridge is that 20 per cent of this funding is dedicated to supporting affordable housing providers. This means some of the most vulnerable members in our community will get to experience improved facilities, and those that provide them will get to upgrade their properties to offer a more comfortable space to their clients.”

Of the $25.6 million going to the four municipalities, Calgary will receive $15 million, St. Albert gets just more than 5 million, Lethbridge will receive $3.8 million, and $1.6 million was earmarked for Canmore.Kenney extends gas rebate for eligible Albertans – Jul 6, 2022 Each municipality will be able to set up lending programs to help homeowners with retrofits to their home to make them more energy efficient. Homeowners will be able to repay the cost of the home energy projects through a charge on their property tax bills.Gondek said details are still being worked out for Calgary’s program, expecting to launch by the end of the year.

St. Albert Mayor Cathy Heron was not in attendance, as St. Albert city council was in session on Monday.

Report warns of financial fallout from climate change in CanadaA new report from the Canadian Climate Institute finds damages are already adding up quickly from floods, fires, heat, and hurricanes and it finds by 2025 climate change will slow the country’s economy by $25 billion a year. Of course unlimited money-printing to pay people to stay home for two years, single-sourced corrupt tenders for Covid supplies to political buddies and giving untold millions to be washed in the Ukraine have nothing to do with our financial problems. The hurricane did it.
