Ucluelet residents and businesses are becoming some of the most energy-aware people in all of BC. Ucluelet's approach to achieving community-wide energy adaptation is dependent on the community's involvement, during both the design and implementation stages of the project. By interweaving innovative public engagement processes into policy review, the community has automatically created a level of understanding to the "why" and "how" of sustainability. These latest energy actions continue to provide long-lasting momentum that is required for achieving a sustainable energy system: Carbon Smart Workgroup; Energy Day; Green Building Guide & BuildGreen Network; LiveSmart BC Low Income Housing Program; and LEED Gold Community Hub & Daycare. When kids are asking their parents to buy an electric car, local builders are competing to build the most energy efficient home, and the Municipal Treasurer is looking at life-cycle costing, you know that change is taking place.
