Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Provincial and Regional partners were also on hand to officially open eight new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations open to the public.
The EV charging stations were made possible through a grant by the Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan’s) Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP), secured by Peel Climate Change Partnership - made of the Region of Peel, City of Brampton, Town of Caledon, City of Mississauga, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Credit Valley Conservation (CVC). The NRCan grant provided $207,000 in total for distribution across the partner organizations to install 43 electric vehicle charging stations across 11 region, municipal, and conservation authority owned sites by December 31, 2021.
