About the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings Program
Visit our interactive map to see projects that are benefiting communities across the country.
In 2020, the Government of Canada announced up to $1.5 billion in federal funding over five years to establish the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program.
On April 16, 2024, the Government of Canada released Budget 2024 which provided a $500 million top-up and extended the program until March 2029.
The GICB Program supports the first pillar of the Strengthened Climate Plan by improving the places Canadians live and gather by cutting pollution (e.g. reducing GHG emissions, increasing energy efficiency, building resiliency to climate change and encouraging new builds to net zero standards), making life more affordable and supporting thousands of good jobs.
