It's great to see Ontario's own Heather McDiarmid making the case for heat pumps in this post for @projectdrawdown.bsky.social. As Heather says, the technology has been around for a long time, it's scaling up fast, and it's "more awesome than you think". #climate #energy

OCAF is one of seven members of the Low-Carbon Cities Canada (LC3) network, all working to reduce #climate pollution and boost #community in major centres across the country.

When we met up in Ottawa earlier this month, we could see the low- #carbon future taking shape, one smart step at a time.

Ottawa’s Housing Accelerator Plan works at the intersection of #housing supply, #climate action, and #affordability, promotes gentle density—but could do more to support accessory residential units (ARUs) in existing neighbourhoods. ottclimatefund.ca/news-post/ca...

We're delighted to welcome Katie Paris and Janice Ashworth to our Board of Directors. Katie's deep expertise in planning, green building and redevelopment, and Janice's in community energy and climate, make them important members of the OCAF team.

273 new #affordable housing units - and built with passive house design, zero #carbon footprint, wastewater heat recovery, rooftop #solar, and more. This is how the tools in a #climate solutions toolbox deliver the nation-building projects that build a nation.

WHOA! A weaponized AI chatbot is flooding city councils with climate misinformation.

Extraordinary & distressing investigative piece published by @nationalobserver.com today.

Please share this article with your municipal councilors – they need to know!

The anti-climate ground game has always authored and weaponized misinformation against policies that would threaten the bottom line of fossil fuel billionaires.

But this is a horrifying new playbook for those who don't care about truth or the impacts of misinformation.
