The CRTC has launched the new 9-8-8 number for mental health crisis and suicide prevention. This is the number to call or text for Canadians who are in need of immediate mental health crisis and suicide prevention intervention. The number will enable greater access regardless of geographic location or socioeconomic status as it will be available from coast to coast, 24/7 and free of charge. Furthermore, the ability to text to 9-8-8 will ensure that people in crisis who are unable to safely call, or prefer texting, are able to obtain counselling.
The Get Involved section of the 988 website has some great resources including downloadable posters for your workplace and wallet cards for your employees. |

Reducing emissions from buildings is key for municipalities to tackle climate change. Funding building decarbonization through property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing allows property owners to access long-term financing for energy efficiency upgrades, secured through a lien on their property taxes.
IMFG's new paper Decarbonization of Buildings in Canadian Cities: Using Property Assessed Clean Energy Financing to Attract Private Capital argues that privately administered and financed programs can support the scaling up of PACE financing to bring significant private capital to decarbonization efforts while also reducing the administrative burdens associated with program delivery.
