We actually started on this initiative with ICLEI, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. We hired ICLEI to do some work with us on the energy side of things.
We embarked on our local action planning process before the federal government came out with the FCM green funds. Now, there are many, many communities using the green funds to help fund this type of research and development at the community level. We went ahead with this because we thought it was a good thing for our community.
What is unique about Sudbury is that we strongly focused on energy. When we engaged our political leaders in Sudbury, it was really sold on the local benefits to our community. We're happy to be making positive contributions to greenhouse gas emissions reductions. We started this initiative on the energy front, and we really did this on our own, without accessing any federal government programs.
In the interim, we've moved ahead with projects where we have accessed the green municipal enabling funds. We have the community energy plan, to look at energy conservation opportunities for our community on the conservation side of things and on renewable generation with wind, solar, biomass, fuel cells, small-scale hydro, landfill gas utilization, and geothermal. That's how we've utilized federal government initiatives.
