Kingston, Ont., was on the receiving end of a federal investment on Wednesday.
Through the Community Efficiency Financing initiative, Kingston will receive $15 million to launch a residential energy retrofit program in hopes of reducing pollution while helping homeowners save money.
“I am proud to see our City partnering with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Government of Canada to help more Kingstonians realize renovations that will make their homes more cost and energy-efficient,” Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson said.
