Canada Backs Decarbonization Aid for Saskatchewan

Prairies Economic Development Canada

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - PrairiesCan

Decarbonization, or the removal/reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere, is important to help Canada achieve a low-carbon future.

Today, the Honourable Terry Duguid, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced federal funding of $718,400 for the NSBA-Saskatoon's Business Association to launch a decarbonization education initiative for businesses in Saskatchewan.

More than ever, customers, clients, and stakeholders expect the businesses they interact with to find ways to reduce their green house gas emissions to be more sustainable and competitive. The NSBA initiative will help businesses find the most flexible and cost-effective ways to mitigate negative environmental impacts, meet consumer expectations, and continue to grow. It aims to promote decarbonization as a tool for business improvement, including enhanced efficiency through digital transformation, better accounting of carbon emissions, and greater sustainability.

The NSBA project aims to promote sustainable practices that are not just the right thing to do for our environment, but also good for Saskatoon businesses.
