North Cowichan opens applications for climate action grants

The Municipality of North Cowichan has opened applications for its Climate Action Community Grant. The program is designed for community groups and registered societies to fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy consumption, and improve climate resilience.

Past recipients of the grant have implemented projects such as installing heat pumps for resident cooling, creating pollinator gardens, and developing food innovation hubs. The application deadline is September 15, with proposals subject to review by the Environmental Advisory Committee and potential inclusion in the 2027 budget.
