Bluewater District School Board has received a cheque in the amount of $79,330.52 from Westario Power Inc. as part of the “Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program”.
In an effort to become more cost and energy efficient, Bluewater staff have implemented energy efficiency initiatives in many of their schools to reduce energy consumption.
Bluewater staff applied to the “Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program” in the hopes of receiving rebate funding to allow for additional work such as replacing older energy devices with up to date energy saving equipment.
Westario Power Inc. 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 at the Westario Power office in Walkerton on Friday, November 4, 2011.
“We are thrilled to have qualified for this fantastic program through Westario Power Inc. 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”, says Director of Education John Bryant.
