* about envirocentre

EnviroCentre is a non-profit organization that works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by delivering energy-efficiency goods and services. We focus on achieving cost-effective, concrete results for our clients and partners. For more details, please download our most recent Annual Report.

The City of Ottawa has renewed our partnership until 2010 under which it provides in-kind support, including office space and a storefront area at City Hall. Our staff members are not city employees but provide residential energy efficiency and transportation demand management programs on behalf of the City. For every dollar received from the City, EnviroCentre usually generates at least ten dollars from other sources.

EnviroCentre strives to operate in a business-like way in order to reduce its dependence on government grants and improve its long-term sustainability. It does this primarily by providing services that have not traditionally been available in Ottawa. It also operates a small EnviroBoutique at its City Hall showroom, which introduces hard-to-find energy-efficiency products to the Ottawa market.

EnviroCentre was until recently a full member of Green Communities Canada. Our Board of Directors meets regularly at City Hall.
