We're honoured to support Ecology Action Centre's Green Streets project through Admiral's Pathways to Employment and Green Futures funding streams.
Projects like Green Streets demonstrate how climate action can also create economic opportunity. By exploring a community-led approach to home energy retrofits in Cape Breton/Unama'ki, the initiative has the potential to reduce energy poverty, improve housing, strengthen local skills and create pathways to meaningful employment in the growing green economy.
For us, this is exactly the kind of work we want to support: practical solutions that help communities address today's challenges while building long-term resilience and opportunity.

🏠 Cape Breton communities continue to face growing pressures related to housing affordability, energy costs, workforce shortages and aging housing stock.
Nine of then ten Nova Scotian communities with the highest rates of energy poverty are in Cape Breton.
Green Streets brings these priorities together by exploring how a community pre-retrofit model could fill service gaps, strengthen local capacity, and keep economic benefits circulating within the community 🏘.
