The City of Toronto’s Environment & Energy Office is now accepting applications for the 2013 Live Green Toronto Community Grants Program.  Grants of up to $25,000 are available for environmentally beneficial projects that address community needs such as park enhancements, local food production, sustainable transportation, renewable energy, building retrofits and tree planting.  Though individuals and businesses are not eligible to apply, resident associations, community groups or not-for-profit organizations are able to take advantage.  If you are part of a group that may be interested in submitting an application, please contact my office.  The deadline to submit an expression of interest is September 16, 2013.  More on the program can be found by visiting livegreentoronto.ca
