Recorded Webinar: Improving energy efficiency and living conditions for low-income New Brunswickers
In this webinar, Nicole Alice McKenna (NB Power) and Janet Collins (Department of Social Development) discuss what options are available for New Brunswickers to improve their energy efficiency and living conditions. This webinar is intended to provide information on New Brunswick programs for energy retrofits and living standard upgrades that do not raise the cost of living.
This webinar focuses on two support avenues in particular:
- NB Power: Several energy efficiencies retrofit programs for different income levels and commercial operations.
- Department of Social Development: Through their RRAP (Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program), the Department of Social Development offers assistance to landlords for major repairs to ensure the health and safety of tenants without having to raise rents.
