EnviroCentre

July 19, 4:30 pm - 8:30 pm

EnviroCentre is an environmental non-profit based in Ottawa. Our mission is to design and deliver practical solutions to reduce GHG emissions. One way we do this is through our energy affordability programs.

The programs are the “Save on Energy: Energy Affordability Program” and the “Enbridge Home Winterproofing Program”. We will provide informative material about the programs and free sustainable swag for community members at the event.

These are free programs designed to help people with low and fixed incomes access home energy upgrades, including insulation upgrades and energy-efficient appliance replacements.

These upgrades can significantly reduce utility bills and increase the comfort of a home.
