The study provides
a detailed look at energy
consumption and greenhouse
gas emissions for residential,
commercial, transportation
and waste as well as
municipal government’s
facilities and operations.
“ C o n s i d e r a b l e
opportunities exist to trim
our energy footprint in the
region through conservation
and the use of locally
available renewable sources
of energy,” says Councillor
Hugh MacDougall, chair
of the Strait Highlands
Regional Development
Agency.
The ongoing project
outlines five milestone goals,
three of which are funded
under the current ongoing
project through the support
of a number of federal,
provincial, municipal,
multi-government, and
private sector funding
partners including the
Federation of Canadian
Municipalities, Enterprise
Cape Breton Corporation,
Natural Resources Canada,
Service Canada, Nova
Scotia Department of
Energy, Nova Scotia Office
of Economic Development,
Service Nova Scotia and
Municipal Relations,
Municipality of the County
of Inverness, Municipality
of the County of Richmond,
Town of Port Hawkesbury,
Strait-Highlands Regional
Development Agency, Statia
Terminals (Valero), and Stora
Enso Port Hawkesbury.
The study to date
also relied on the cooperation
of the Strait-
Highlands Green Action
team, chief administration
officers, public works
engineers, the steering
committee, CBCL Limited
Consulting Engineers and
the Atlantic Institute for
Sustainability. E n e r g y
consumption data from
more than 960 residences,
53 businesses and about 20
institutional, commercial
and small industrial
establishments were made
available, providing for a
reasonable analysis of the
region’s energy consumption
and greenhouse gas
emissions. Further energy
records and bills are
pending and will be added
to the “living document” as
more information becomes
available. 2005 data was
chosen as the baseline for
data for the project. It’s
clear from data collected
that while demographic and
population trends continue
declining, emissions from
the commercial and small
industrial sector are greater
than any other sector.
Those involved with
the project to date say the
completion of Milestone
One report is a very
important first step in an
ongoing process, and they
hope to see a day when the
region has a carbon neutral
footprint.
“The results to date are
very positive. Businesses
and residents are excited
by prospects of energy
efficiency and savings,
and that’s been one of our
biggest selling points to
date,” said John Beaton,
coordinator, Strait-Highland
Green Plan. Francis
Gillies of the SH-RDA
has seen the region come
a long way since the first
workshops on sustainable
community energy systems
were organized back in
2004. Jim Davis, finance
director for the Town of Port
Hawkesbury, says the Green
Plan is very important for
the future of the town and
the region. “We’ve already
seen a great benefit through
the green planning with the
Civic Centre building and
the financial support from
the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities.” John Bain,
director of Rural Cape
Breton District Planning
Commission, said his office
has been working with
Antigonish on creating a bylaw
regarding the installation
of wind turbines. It’s one
of the issues the region
anticipates it will face more
frequently as the Green
Action plan develops.
The completion of the
Emissions Inventory Report
provides a detailed analysis
and much important
baseline data to estimate
past, present and future
energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions.
The detailed report includes
a snapshot of energy use by
sector in each of the three
target areas, emissions
by sector, demographic
shifts, residential dwelling
classifications by age and
regions, sources of energy
usage, energy use and
greenhouse gas emissions
by dwelling type and a
wealth of other data.
The remaining
milestones to be met for the
Strait-Highlands Green Plan
include: 2) set a reduction
target; 3) develop a local
action plan; 4) implement
