Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. But can Canada achieve its goal? Yes, and it starts right in our very own homes.
The Canada Greener Homes Grant Initiative aims to make it more affordable to buy energy-efficient upgrades. This will lower your carbon footprint and have a positive impact on the environment.
Are you interested in adding energy-efficient replacement windows to your home? Read on to find out more about how the Canada Greener Homes Grant works.
Launched this year, the grant allows homeowners to make energy-efficient home construction and upgrades.
The goal of the grant is to help around 700,000 Canadian homeowners reduce energy costs. This will also help homeowners to save on bills as well as keep their home warm in winter and cool in summer.
You will need to be a homeowner to be eligible for the grant and have proof of ownership.
Properties eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant include:

To be eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant, you must first register through the online portal. Up to 700,000 grants are available, so you will need to get in fast.
As part of the application process, you will need to supply a number of documents. These include:
