Canadian cities and towns facing an uphill battle to stave off the effects of climate change will share more than half a billion dollars from a new federal adaptation fund, but the money is barely a blip in the bills Canadian municipalities are facing for floods, fires and other severe weather.

Under the initiative, local governments can apply for up to $1 million to help cover adaptation project costs and up to $70,000 for risk assessments and feasibility studies. Tim Tierney, an Ottawa city councillor and third vice-president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, welcomed the new adaptation money even as he admitted it is a drop in the bucket of what is actually needed.

Since 2018, the city has seen three major power outages that lasted days, if not weeks – due to a tornado, a major wind storm called a derecho and an ice storm.
