Note: Thank you for your interest in CEPGP. The 2012 program is currently under review. CEPGP is designed to help the City of Ottawa meet its environmental objectives. City programs include solid-waste diversion, water efficiency, wastewater, the water environment, sustainable development and broader global climate issues. The program provides funding for small-scale, community-based initiatives managed by non-profit organizations interested in the improvement and preservation of our environment.
