software then identifies all the infrastructure and can filter maps showing various pieces of infrastructure separately.

Councillor Al Harvey congratulated the administrations for their efforts in putting the condition assessment together.

“I look forward to being able to tie these documents into our budgeting deliberations,” he said.

Council then passed a motion accepting the update as information.

The council also received a grant application update.

Edworthy reported to council administration reviewed 42 funding sources and submitted seven applications for grant funding to date for 2023.

“We’re constantly looking for additional funding sources and then apply for them,” he added.

He further explained the Climate Resilience Capacity Building Program covers 100 per cent of the cost to develop a study that will iden- tify risk and potential community impacts as it relates to climate change. This study, if approved for funding, Edworthy added, will provide information required to apply for the Disaster mitigation and adaptation fund. This (DMAF) is a project-based grant to support infrastructure projects designed to mitigate current and future climate related risks and disasters

“The fund has a minimum value of $1-million so its important we get some studies completed so we can apply for this grant.

“Grants like this can have a significant impact on our climate resiliency moving forward.”

Edworthy further outlined some other grants administration was studying to further benefit the community.

Many of them, he said, required council approve an energy audit of current facilities to identify the potential Green House Gas (GHG) reduction and return of investment.

The Green House Gas

Reduction Pathway Feasibility Study (GHGRPFS) provides up to 80 per cent funding for the study that would identify the potential GHG reduction and return on investment for facility retrofit projects.

Council passed two motions, one to accept the grant application as information and the second to approve up to $25,000 to apply for the GHGRPFS, both which were passed.
