Committee of Council Committee Meeting
The committee meeting focused on a presentation regarding the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, aimed at providing low-interest loans for home energy retrofits like heat pumps, insulation, and solar installations. The discussion covered how the program operates as a user-pay model without administrative burden on the municipality, the qualification process tied to property tax history, and the potential economic benefits for residents. The committee discussed the initiation of an enabling bylaw to potentially participate in the program in the future.
