Green Calgary (formerly the Clean Calgary Association) - a charitable organization that has been improving the lives of Calgarians for over 30 years - is recruiting people for its newest project – Healthy Homes Calgary. This innovative program helps families reduce their utility bills by focusing on energy and water conservation, while improving health through indoor air quality education. Program staff also address recycling and composting, as well as food choices and alternative transportation options.
Ten months into the project, the Healthy Homes Calgary staff and volunteers have reached over 350 unique households and they are looking to recruit more.
Participants have been delighted by the “encouragement” and “attentiveness” of the program staff and volunteers. One participant exclaimed:
“THANK YOU for doing this! The personal aspect of it is very helpful. It is one thing to look online for information, it is totally different, and infinitely more helpful to have information tailored to your home, and to have people there to answer the exact questions that are making a change seem worrisome, difficult or intimidating.”
If you are looking to reduce your utility bills, while also improve your family’s health, the Healthy Homes Calgary program is for you. Generous funding from The Calgary Foundation, the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, Alberta EcoTrust, the City of Calgary, Elements: the Patagonia Store, and Conoco Phillips have allowed us to offer this program at no charge. We are here to help all Calgarians, including homeowners and renters, and those living in condominiums, townhouses, mobile homes, as well as single family homes.
