Join us for a Solarize our Cities slideshow at Tri-Cities Greendrinks.  Cheryl Lewis will share a Moment of Power presentation about alternative energy. Come hear what FoN is doing and have a conversation about how you can help our cities (and ultimately our province/ country) become a climate leader.

There are several things municipalities can do to help make solar more affordable and accessible to consumers within their jurisdiction. A recent study by SPEC BC (Society Promoting Environmental Conservation) found that homeowners who choose to install solar panels on their properties are paying out thousands of dollars in order to navigate municipal permitting requirements. Many jurisdictions including Toronto, Calgary, and Colwood, BC have addressed this by adopting an expedited permitting process. FoN is advocating for similar policies to be implemented across the Lower Mainland to benefit homeowners and stimulate market uptake of solar technology. 

Finally, FoN is inviting Lower Mainland municipalities to consider becoming Official Canadian Solar Cities. The Canadian Solar Cities Project is a non-profit organization that recognizes Canadian communities for leadership in sustainable practices, with a focus on solar ( http://solarcitiescanada.com/application-form/).

Come be a part of positive change.
