Presented by Dr. Martin Boucher, Faculty Lecturer, JSGS
To achieve global zero emissions targets by 2050, Canada needs to accelerate the pace of its energy transition. This transition, however, can impact people within the population differently. Of those most impacted are low-income Canadians. This presentation will discuss the impacts on low-income Canadians, explore current approaches in the country, and share progress on an ongoing project with the city of Saskatoon on low-income renters.
