In its ongoing commitment to environmental leadership - the City of Vaughan is assisting our local businesses to go green. In partnership with area businesses and local non-profit organizations, the City of Vaughan demonstrates this commitment through a variety of programs, from shop floor improvements to education, alternative energy sources to environmental advocacy.

Spotlight on Greening Retail

A program of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Greening Retail develops resources and programs, and facilitates demonstration projects to help retailers implement environmental best practices. Greening Retail works in partnership with sector leaders, government agencies and other organizations to provide retailers with the strategies and tools they need in order to take action.

Resources for Business:

 

Power Savings Blitz is an energy conservation program offered by PowerStream, in partnership with the Ontario Power Authority. This program provides small businesses with up to $1,000 in free* energy-efficient lighting and equipment upgrades – all with the aim of helping businesses like yours save money on your utility bill.

When you conserve energy you’re doing more than just helping your business’ bottom line - you are also contributing to a cleaner environment for your customers and the community.

The program is being offered to small businesses that have an annual electricity demand of approximately 50kW or less, in the non-food and office sub-sectors.
