Canadian homeowners will soon be able to apply to a new federal government program that offers grants for energy-efficient home upgrades.
CTV News has confirmed that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan are expected to unveil the program on Thursday at a press conference in Ottawa.
First proposed by the government last fall, the program will offer homeowners grants of up to $5,000 that can be put toward the installation of such energy-saving projects as improved insulation or roof panels, high-efficiency water heaters or heating equipment, and solar panels.
