Description

Ontario is committed to protecting human health and the natural environment. Projects that are eligible for support focus on: increasing environmental restoration and remediation activities which repair environmental harm; resilient communities and local solutions to environmental issues.



Funding is available for two different kinds of environmental improvement projects. These include projects that focus on:

  1. Increasing environmental restoration and remediation activities which repair environmental harm. For example:
    • planting trees, shrubs or plants to help mitigate and adapt to climate change
    • rebuilding fish habitat and creating fish spawning beds
    • stabilizing stream banks and creating buffer strips to reduce nutrient run-off
    • restoring streams to improve habitat and water quality
  2. Resilient communities and local solutions to environmental issues. For example:
    • improving the resilience of natural ecosystems by restoring wetlands and preserving areas of significant environmental and ecological importance
    • installing rain gardens to reduce the risk of flooding and help communities adapt to climate change
