Participants will learn about the Province's new LiveSmart BC rebate program for energy efficiency as well as other incentives that are being offered by home retailers such as window manufacturers. Homeowners are eligible for up to $12,345 in government grants to make energy upgrades to their homes. Laura will discuss the details of the program, how homeowners can access the grants, the types of renovations or upgrades that make a home more energy efficient and the benefits of an energy efficient home. She will also be doing a Q&A session about LiveSmart BC, so come with your questions to ask or just listen and learn.
