One of the greatest opportunities for Canada is the shift towards clean growth. Transforming how we use energy presents tremendous economic potential and will result in good middle-class jobs for Canadians and a cleaner planet for future generations.

These studies will be conducted for the Port Lands and the Etobicoke Civic Centre Precinct.Buildings and homes contribute approximately 17 percent of Canadas greenhouse gas emissions. Net-Zero Energy buildings produce at least as much energy as they consume on an annual basis and these studies look at applying a similar concept at the community level.Natural Resources Canada funded the project through its Energy Innovation Program EIP which supports initiatives to accelerate clean technology development. The EIP is also part of Canadas 180-billion Investing in Canada infrastructure plan.Through Canadas national energy dialogue Generation Energy Canadians expressed that our country has an opportunity to play a leading role in the global low-carbon movement.
