Some good news for the Bluewater District School Board.
It is getting a rebate cheque for just under 80 thousand dollars — from Westario Power as part of the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program.
Trying to be more cost and energy efficient, Bluewater staff have implemented energy
initiatives in many of their schools to reduce energy consumption.
They applied to the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program in the hopes of getting a rebate to allow for additional work such as replacing older energy devices with up to date energy saving equipment.
Westario Power President and CEO Lisa Milne presented the cheque to Bluewater District School Board Chair Marg Gaviller, Director of Education John Bryant, Manager of Plant Services Operations Dennis Dick, and Superintendent of Business Brenda Booth in Walkerton.
Director of Education John Bryant says they are thrilled to have qualified for the program through Westario Power .
He says the goals of the funding are well aligned with our Board Policy on Environmental Sustainability which advocates programs and practices that demonstrate respect for the environment.
