Funding announced for 25 climate resilience projects across the province
Federal Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin was in the capital city today and announced about $7.1 million in investments through the Green Municipal Fund’s Local Leadership for Climate Adaptation initiative.
The investment will support 80 adaptation projects across Canada, 25 of which are being developed in Newfoundland and Labrador. For example, the Town of Hare Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, is receiving $70,000 for watershed delineated climate adaptation planning.
These projects were chosen after a call for applications that was launched in June of 2024. Officials today hope projects like these will give municipalities the tools they need, to keep their communities safe from harsh weather.
