EnerGuide Program

WHEREAS the federal government recently terminated the EnerGuide for Houses Program, which includes the EnerGuide for Houses Retrofit incentive and EnerGuide for Low Income Households Program, both of which encourage homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient; AND WHEREAS these programs helped households cope with high energy costs, cutting their energy bills by an average of 30, as well as cut greenhouse gas emissions: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC Municipalities lobby the federal government to reverse its decision to cancel the EnerGuide Program.
