Bay of Quinte Greens work hard to promote green policies in our region. We are continually active in supporting: the protection of our environment, affordable housing solutions, and giving an opportunity for those who support a “Green and Caring Economy” to make friends and take action.
Our Plan:
Connected Communities:
by adding more affordable housing, electrifying transit, and connecting communities so people can work, live, and play in strong and sustainable neighbourhoods.
A Caring Society:
by expanding professional mental health services covered by OHIP, making them accessible, affordable, and comprehensive.
Embrace New Climate Economy:
by reducing energy costs with programs like green retrofits for your home that will save you money and create thousands of jobs.
