Federal Initiative for Climate-Resilient Housing and Infrastructure
The federal government has launched the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure, a $94.7 million investment aimed at building environmentally friendly and climate-resilient housing across Canadian communities. This initiative includes a help desk, an online platform, and a roster of climate and infrastructure experts to support communities in adapting infrastructure to changing climate conditions. This toolkit is expected to facilitate the integration of climate considerations in project planning, potentially influencing future construction standards and practices.
