Improving energy efficiency is one of the most reliable ways to strengthen Canada’s economic productivity. Investing $1 in energy efficiency can generate $4–$7 in economic value that flows back into Canadian homes and communities.

Energy efficiency initiatives can:
✅️ Support stronger economic performance
✅️ Create and sustain jobs in trades and manufacturing
✅️ Help businesses manage energy costs
✅️ Deliver benefits in every region of the country

These outcomes contribute to a more competitive, resilient economy. Learn more or join the conversation: https://efficiencycanada.nationbuilder.com/national_priority

Shout out to our EcoSchools participating schools in Nova Scotia! Today we’re celebrating the great work happening at Northumberland Regional High School:

🎨 One project we love is a beautiful apple blossom painting. The blossoms and buds were thoughtfully designed to mirror the layout of the school’s food forest planting.
🌽Fun fact: The corn grown in their Three Sisters garden was gifted by a fellow school garden all the way from Digby, showcasing the power of sharing and community.
💧 Another standout is the school’s in-class hydroponics setup, giving learners hands-on experience with innovative, sustainable growing methods.

Way to grow, Northumberland Regional High School!
