SUMMARY:Leading Community Building Retrofits for Cost Savings and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:How can councils maintain essential community buildings despite rising energy costs and aging infrastructure? \nJoin Councillor Andy Thompson to learn from the Pictou County Net Zero Retrofit Project\, a community-led initiative delivered in partnership with Navigate Energy. Launched in 2023\, the project is successfully upgrading 21 non-profit\, community-owned buildings across rural Pictou County—including community centres\, firehalls\, and an arena—through deep energy retrofits and climate-friendly heating systems at no cost to participating organizations. \nAs the project concludes\, this session will explore how these upgrades are reducing operating costs\, strengthening essential community spaces\, and demonstrating a scalable model that local governments can adapt to accelerate deep retrofits and long-term infrastructure resilience. \n– \nThis Chapter is facilitated by Councillor Adam Baden-Clay and is open to current and former local elected leaders who are members of Climate Caucus. \nMembers receive calendar invites to these calls. If you have not received one please contact our Network Manager Olivia at olivia@climatecaucus.ca. \nTo become a member (free)\, sign up here or email olivia@climatecaucus.ca with any questions.
