Ottawa to fund 164 school projects in Sask. with carbon tax money
The federal government has said where it will spend the first $12 million of carbon tax money meant for universities, schools, municipalities and hospitals in Saskatchewan.
In a news release Wednesday, Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the money will fund 164 projects that will help make Saskatchewan schools “more sustainable and climate resilient.”
The money will go to projects that will improve energy efficiency.
Among them, Regina’s Michael A. Riffel Catholic High School will receive $333,000 for LED lighting upgrades and Evan Hardy Collegiate in Saskatoon will get $571,000 for boiler and roof replacement retrofits.
