Take Action
I’m ready to learn about installing Natural Infrastructure where I live.
Thanks for your interest in installing Natural Infrastructure on your property. From the list below, please select the Natural Infrastructure you are interested in.
I want the Federal Government to help My Community install Natural Infrastructure
Trees, rain gardens, permeable pavement, green roofs, rain barrels, and community gardens: these examples of Natural Infrastructure do much more than just soak up the rain and reduce the harm caused by flooding, they:
- create resilient communities (eg. by reducing the urban heat island effect and providing locally-grown food)
- improve our mental well-being and physical health
- provide habitat for pollinators and promoting urban biodiversity
- create green jobs
Help harness the incredible power of Natural Infrastructure in your community. Please join your fellow Canadians and ask the Federal Government to invest in a program to help community members install Natural Infrastructure as part of the COVID Recovery.
On April 19th, 2021 the Federal Government announced a new $200 million Natural Infrastructure Fund. Please send a letter to the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, and the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities urging them to invest part of the new $200 million fund in community efforts to install Natural Infrastructure.
