Description

The Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program aims to build more community buildings and improve existing ones – in particular in areas with populations experiencing higher needs – while also making the buildings more energy efficient, lower carbon, more resilient, and higher performing. This five-year $1.5 billion program will support green and accessible retrofits, repairs or upgrades of existing public community buildings and the construction of new publicly-accessible community buildings that serve high-needs, underserved communities across Canada.

Eligible Applicants

Applications for small and medium retrofits are accepted on a rolling intake basis. Open to the following:

All provincial, territorial and municipal governments
Public sector body
Federally or provincially incorporated not-for-profit organizations and registered charities

Large retrofits and new builds are not currently open for applications.
