NICKEL BELT – GREATER SUDBURY – Applications are now being accepted through the $200 million through the Low Carbon Economy Fund’s Champions stream, which supports a wide range of local pollution‑cutting initiatives in communities across Canada.

Champions stream investments support municipalities, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and Indigenous communities to develop and implement transformational projects that significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, create good jobs, and contribute to Canada’s 2030 emissions reduction target.

This second round of applications will build on the results for communities that the Fund has already delivered. The department is accepting expressions of interest for the new Champions stream until March 25, 2022. Applicants can visit the Low Carbon Economy Challenge website to find more information on whether their projects might be eligible, and how to apply.

“Speaking directly with municipal leaders, I hear clearly that having climate change adapted communities remains a top priority. Locally we see impacts of flooding and unpredictable weather. I commend Greater Sudbury for having declared a Climate Emergency in May 2019 and recently setting forth their 5-year plan towards net-zero. Funds like these support those initiatives. I encourage all eligible applicants to take advantage without delay.”- Marc G. Serré MP for Nickel Belt and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Official Languages
