en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Government of Canada, through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program, is providing over $324,000 CAD in funding to Ducks Unlimited Canada for energy efficiency upgrades at its Beaubassin Research Centre in New Brunswick.

This funding will be used for multiple building energy efficiency improvements, including: installing insulation throughout the building, replacing the existing oil furnace with a heat pump system, installing energy-efficient windows, and adding a ground-mounted solar system. These upgrades aim to reduce the research facility's carbon footprint.

The Beaubassin Research Centre is located in the heart of the Tantramar Marshes, on the border between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Geoff Harding, Major Projects Lead for Ducks Unlimited Canada's Atlantic Region, stated that the harsh coastal conditions in the area make facility resilience crucial, and this investment in energy upgrades helps ensure the future sustainability of the centre and the critical coastal research conducted there.

This investment will not only reduce the centre's carbon emissions but also provide a more sustainable and resilient working environment for researchers, universities, and local Indigenous community members who frequently use the Beaubassin Research Centre.

Dominic LeBlanc, Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs, Domestic Trade, and Economic Unity, stated that the Government of Canada is committed to investing in cleaner, more sustainable infrastructure, and these energy efficiency upgrades will support and advance Ducks Unlimited Canada's conservation goals in wetland and waterfowl research.

Additionally, Ducks Unlimited Canada has received an extra $80,000 CAD in funding support.
