The Robertson Building

In early 2006 City Council approved a budget reallocation of $200,000 to implement the Green Roof Incentive Pilot Program. The overall goal of the program is to encourage green roof construction in the City, resulting in a number of highly visible projects. It was expected to provide a grant of $10 per square metre (1$ per square foot) toward acceptable green roof projects to a maximum grant amount of $20,000. The program was open to all owners of private property in the City of Toronto irrespective of building size and type as long as the building is capable of supporting a green roof that meets the program requirements.  The pilot program ran from May to October, 2006 and is currently being reviewed and evaluated. It is hoped that the program will be reinstated next year and subsequently as well. Details of the Green Roof Incentive Pilot Program with respect to eligibility criteria and application procedures are posted on the City’s Green Roof Website www.toronto.ca/greenroofs.
