Pilot project: Site remediation or risk management | Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM):

December 31, 2023

Value

Up to $500,000 to cover up to 50% of eligible costs.

Description

We fund pilot projects for initiatives that demonstrate how to bring a brownfield site back into economically productive use. This funding helps Canadian cities and communities of all sizes remediate their brownfield sites.

Pilot projects assess solutions in real-life conditions. They evaluate either a small-scale version of a project or a full-scale, replicable version.

Eligible Applicants

All Canadian municipal governments; Municipal partners applying in partnership with a municipal government.

Eligible Expenses

FCM funds pilot projects that demonstrate most of the following characteristics:

  • Transformative potential: The pilot project test solutions (e.g., knowledge, practices, technologies) that are beyond business-as-usual. The pilot project:
    • Is likely to result in a project that demonstrates significant performance improvements (e.g., improved levels of service, cost savings, energy efficiency, increased resiliency, environmental protection, improved human health)
    • Is audacious in that it requires a municipality to take on uncertainty over known best practices to achieve greater environmental benefits
    • Is designed to build the capacity of key stakeholders (e.g., municipal staff, elected officials, local trades)
    • Has the potential to generate new knowledge for the sector
    • Has a high likelihood of being replicated if successful
  • Significant impacts: The project has the potential, at full scale, to generate significant measurable environmental results as well as economic and social benefits.
  • Strong implementation framework: The project plan is robust and includes appropriate stakeholder engagement, planning, risk management and resourcing.
