As Canada experiences historic growth, meeting current and future needs for renewable and sustainable energy is a particularly complex challenge for smaller municipalities. Small communities face unique challenges when planning for new sustainable, energy-efficient infrastructure.

In recent years, Canadians have been confronted with record-breaking heatwaves, flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires that have severely damaged homes, businesses, and communities. The number of affected communities across the country is expected to continue increasing, with the rate of extreme weather events having increased globally by approximately 83% in the last 20 years. There is no doubt municipalities are at the heart of building climate resilient communities.

With municipal and provincial elections taking place from coast to coast to coast, coupled with a federal election happening anytime in the coming months, politics are taking on a whole new life in the social and public arena.

Destination Canada is back to host a new activity on the importance of intentional destination development.

This webinar recording explores creative, multi-stakeholder collaborations in municipalities working to help build climate-resilient communities.

Municipalities can create new revenue streams, generate renewable energy, and support local sustainability goals by incorporating biogas & renewable natural gas (RNG) into municipal waste management. Biogas & RNG are proven technologies for municipal landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and as an option to manage green bin waste.
