The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has their green municipal fund, as we've discussed earlier, and they have an energy section and a transportation section. They have best practices examples and what project has received so much money. To my recollection, there is no department for urban conservation.
If there would be a way to gather that information on one site, one portal, guichet unique, as we would say in French, that would be an obvious plus. There's also the Quebec municipal affairs ministry, which has an observatoire on best practices, what's been done in North America and around the world, and also many guidelines on how to advise municipalities on conservation.
